~Bi-Cultural Awareness Training Program (BCAT) ~
Our BCAT uses the Seven Phases with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Throughout the training it brings about a deeper dimension to our training which we believe has never been experienced by other cultural awareness training programs. Our program continues to impart the essesntial interlectual information but what is unique and innovative about our model is learners have an emotional experience where it transforms many peoples beliefs, concepts, understandings and practises when working with the local Aboriginal people and their communities (see testimonials). The program discusses what we believe could be the psychological implact of historical ancestral and contemporary ‘grief fears’ borne out of both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal societies experiencing rejection in someway shape or form. Devoid of shame and blame learners explore not just Aboriginal culture and the history of 1788 but an opportunity to explore English culture and the history of 43AD (See Information Kit).
Our Seven Phases highlights how and why Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal individuals, families, communities and from all cultural backgrounds experience ‘grief fear’ and when in this state we can do psychological harm to each other wether it be real or imagined.

~BCAT adapability~
Aboriginal communities:
Bi-cultural awareness training for local Aboriginal communities can support them as individuals and families to confidently access their local mainstream services;
Main stream services providers:
Bi-cultural awareness training for non-Aboriginal service providers can support their local Aboriginal communities to access their local services by providing not just a physically safe environment but an emotionally safe environment from any form of overt or covert rejection.
Employment:
Our bi-cultural awareness training can be applied to Aboriginal individuals in a counselling/mentoring role and or in a group program that supports them before, during and after employment. While the employment agencies can provide practical support for them we believe our unique and innovative approaches can provide emotional skills and support if one experiences problems in the workplace and/or family environment; we teach them how to respond rather than react to challenges!
