Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation Kbhac

Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation (KBHAC) is a not-for-profit Aboriginal community-controlled organisation established to help restore and reconstruct the identity, dignity and integrity of Aboriginal men who were forcibly removed from their families and put into the Kinchela Boys Home (KBH). The organisation seeks to address the trauma and multigenerational trauma that adversely impacts on the lives of these men, their families and descendants. KBHAC was established in 2002 by survivors of the Kinchela Boys Home (KBH), a ‘home' run by the NSW Government from 1924–1970 to house Aboriginal boys who were forcibly removed from their families under the policies that created the Stolen Generation. KBHAC has developed a unique survivor-led approach to its governance and healing described as: Survivor led – an approach to organisational governance and practice built on and informed by the guidance and unique insights offered by survivors and which, contributes to the social and emotional wellbeing of survivors, their communities, and cultures. The KBH survivors and KBHAC own their stories and healing, leading from a place of self-determination. KBHAC's vision is to improve the social, emotional, cultural and spiritual wellbeing of the KBH survivors and their families in a meaningful way. This takes a strength-based focus on persistent grief, trauma and intergenerational trauma as experienced by each KBH survivor and his family. KBHAC is committed to empowering, positive, healthy survivor-led models that enable greater social inclusion in community life. These models address the rebuilding and strengthening of identity and family structures.
