What our Participants are saying

I took part in the Work fit program, gaining job ready skills, successfully attained my white card and traffic control tickets."
Jamie
"...I have learned how to help other and particularly my partner during mental episodes, from completing the Aboriginal Mental health first aid.
I also learn to get up and do things, instead of saying things and not doing it."
Ciaran

From my frequent engagement with tribal warrior and with he support of Gabe my mentor, I completed my Justice plan to help resolve my current charges."
Warren
"When you go to jail, everybody writes you off and thinks you'll never change. I'm here because Tribal Warrior believed in me".
David
"I have been on the Tribal Warrior program for three weeks. they have listened to me and are helping me to achieve my goals. They are working with me towards sustainable and meaningful employment. Which is something that no organisation or department has done before".
Daniel
"The Tribal Warrior program has helped me really understand that it's ok to feel how I feel. That this feeling of disconnection is not just me, there are a lot of people who feel exactly how I feel but I need to be willing to give everything a chance. It's alright if I feel this way, but it's not ok to not to anything about it. I understand now that I need to take the initiative to acknowledge my past and it's not too late to connect with who I am and build myself up for a strong future".
