Marumali Program® at Work

First Nations Service Providers

Join us for a transformative four-day workshop designed to enhance your ability to support Stolen Generations survivors with cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed care.

Understanding the Marumali Program®

The Marumali Program® is a culturally grounded, trauma-informed workshop designed to empower First Nations service providers to offer safe, appropriate, and effective support to Stolen Generations survivors, their families, and communities.

This four-day intensive training equips participants with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to respond to the unique social and emotional challenges faced by survivors. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the intergenerational impacts of forcible removal policies and develop culturally appropriate healing strategies that respect survivors’ rights to lead their own healing journey.
