Trauma-Informed Care

Connection to Community
Choosing United for Care means joining a community that uplifts you. Our housing provides more than a place to live – it’s a foundation for the life you want to lead. We work alongside family, Elders and community members to customise our services to your needs. Â
Whether it’s connecting you with occupational therapists experienced in working with Indigenous people, or helping you engage in cultural practices, we’re here to help you achieve independence, connect with a wider community, and live a life that complements your values.
