A First Nations Emotional Learning and Conflict Resolution Program for Kindergarten Classrooms
This program introduces young learners to sharing, fairness, emotional awareness, and respectful relationships through Aboriginal storytelling and cultural practices. Educators guide children through the story of how Kangaroo got his tale, using play-based learning, yarning, and nature-based activities to explore feelings, choices, and how to care for others.

On behalf of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child sexual abuse, Donna spent several years interviewing Aboriginal abuse victims in indigenous communities. As a trauma counsellor and community liaison, Donna supported many clients through this difficult process.
Donna has been teaching the latest counselling techniques to clients such as Gestalt Therapy Australia’s upcoming year three students, University Queensland Psychology students, and many more, bringing a modern approach to counselling that reduces stress and anxiety within clients.
Donna is a Wailwan/Wiradjuri woman from outback NSW. Donna is from the stolen generation, and she wanted to create training resources to educate mainstream Australians (without blame, guilt, or anger) about Aboriginal people and to bring Indigenous wisdom to the counselling field.
