Company Overview:
The Dulwich Centre Foundation Inc. is a not-for-profit charitable organisation based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Mission:
The Dulwich Centre Foundation is dedicated to responding to groups and communities which are facing mental health difficulties as the result of significant hardships (such as trauma, violence, drug and alcohol issues, grief & loss , poverty, racism, discrimination, dispossession, and so on).
Products:
Our work involves:

* direct counselling and community work with individuals, groups, and communities

* developing respectful, effective, and culturally appropriate methodologies to respond to community mental health issues and collective trauma

* working in partnership with local communities to engage with children, young people, and adults using these methodologies

* building the capacity of local mental health workers/community members to address mental health issues in a range of contexts (for instance, training elders of Aboriginal communities to be able to work with children and young people affected by grief and loss)

* helping communities develop their own ways of working which we then document and circulate to a broader audience. We have found this process to be considerably empowering of local workers, groups and communities.
