Everyone deserves a second chance.
Yeddung Mura is here to help you make connections, find support, and guide your recovery journey.
Sometimes, all we need is a push in the right direction.
Yeddung Mura is a non-profit organisation dedicated to support and empower Aboriginal detainees released from prisons and courts. We are a community-led organisation and have been where you are now. We understand what you need without you saying it.
A strong support system makes things happen.
Our services and programs are free. Work with us to provide strong support to your community.
Our Approach
Yeddung Mura offers services and programs to assist individuals with their pain by:
- providing positive social and environmental conditions.
- encouraging individuals to engage in alternative activities, such as sports, music, art, or any other hobby that provides enjoyment and distraction from drugs.
- provide education and job opportunities.
- address underlying mental health issues
- promote harm reduction strategies by forming support groups, encouraging social activities, and promoting healthy relationships with friends and family.
Rat Park Theory
The Rat Park Theory was developed by Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander in the 1970s. The Rat Part theory suggests that drug addiction is not solely a result of chemical dependency but also due to various social and environmental factors. Yeddung Mura programs are designed to create a positive and supportive environment for individuals struggling with complex issues.
