The Behaviour Change Programs are grounded in lived experience and designed to support healing through reconnection to culture, community, and Country. 

At Bunmabunmarra, we walk alongside participants as they rebuild a foundation of self-belief and dignity, drawing strength from connection to land, culture, and community. These programs are designed to break cycles of violence by fostering accountability, self-awareness, and healthier ways of relating to others. 

What the Programs Include

The Behaviour Change Programs are delivered through a structured, culturally informed model that supports participants to build and maintain non-violent, respectful relationships. Supports include:
