Custom Solutions - tailored to your needs

Why Warriors aims to enable effective communication and culturally aware practices in order to facilitate the delivery of services to Indigenous communities in a way that provides for the empowerment of Indigenous peoples and the restoration of health, wealth and dignity to their communities. Our custom courses build upon an exploration of the historical positioning of Indigenous issues, and the dynamics of the interaction between Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultures. 

Generally we have found that clients' needs fall into 4 main types:

1. Personnel engaging directly with Indigenous communities
2. Personnel engaging directly in education & training of Indigenous persons
3. Personnel who have limited contact with communities but are involved in policy or program development or management
4. No direct impacts on Indigenous people but require general orientation to cross-cultural issues

Course components are designed to accommodate the skill requirements of these types of personnel and combine them to target clients' needs. In addition to this we are able to model content to emphasize the subject areas or social issues of most relevance to personnel, such as; health, law, the environment, housing, employment, welfare dependency, violence, policing, economics, home lands or education.  This enables personnel engaging with Indigenous communities in particular ways to contextualize effective methodologies and skills in the context of their work place.  The emphasis being to create useful tools that reflect participants' specific needs.  

We are able to tailor solutions by enhancing an existing course or building an entirely new training program. Training can be delivered in the form of customized courses, seminars, workshops, or in the context of mediated conflict resolutions & cross-cultural interventions where there are issues between staff internally or between an organisation and Aboriginal community members.
