Strengthening Days are a Better Chances Forum Project
Better Chances Forum (BCF) Strengthening Days are a healing and connection space for First Nations workers. We offer a culturally led space where workers who support children and families in the Northern Rivers of NSW can connect and ‘work together to present our united voice about what we need as Aboriginal workers to support our jarjums and families.’
Strengthening Days have been held regularly in the Northern Rivers since 2019.
This is a Better Chances Forum (BCF) project, supported by the Northern Rivers Community Healing Hub, Social Futures, YWCA and NSW Department of Communities and Justice.
Feedback from Strengthening Days about ‘how we can work better together across cultures’ is shared with BCF members.
We encourage organisations to support First Nations staff to participate in this development opportunity.

A report Together: Sharing, Working and Moving was compiled in December 2021 which includes Feedback from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Workers who have attended past Strengthening Days.
