2025 Mentoring Program Wrap

As the 2025 Walking Together, Learning Together mentoring program wraps up, participants are reflecting on a year of deep learning, cultural connection and professional growth.

Participants of Walking Together, Learning Together mentoring program have said of their experience, “Coming into the program I was very focused on my weaknesses. Now I’m much more focused on my strengths”. The program has helped build confidence, clarify career direction, and open new leadership pathways.

Now in its fourth year, Walking Together, Learning Together is designed to strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce in the Domestic & Family Violence, Sexual Violence and Women’s Health & Wellbeing sector. It responds to the underrepresentation of First Nations workers and supports their growth as leaders and mentors.

The program offers a unique blend of professional development, cultural connection and healing informed practice. Through workshops, narrative coaching, weaving, and peer mentoring, participants build strong, culturally grounded relationships that continue beyond the program.

Expressions of interest are now open for the 2026 program. Be part of this transformative journey as a mentor or mentee by completing this form, or email jessie.robinson@healingfoundation.org.au for more information.
