​

{The CCPE pilot projects have addressed trauma among former detainees and their care givers in Africa and among migrants of African Origin in Australia. The Programs use the African Therapeutic model of Transformation in a “train-the-trainer model,” coaching mental health professionals, police officers, care home workers, community leaders, teachers, and others in techniques for meditation, guided imagery, movement, journal writing, music and drama exercises. These techniques helped community leaders to deal with their own trauma and stress – and then to pass those skills along to their students. The hope is to cause a ripple effect in the communities they serve, increasing resilience and healing on a larger scale.

The annual cross-cultural Music and dance completion initiative in NSW mobilizes migrants and indigenous populations and brings them together for the organized competitions. Aside from the competition itself, side-meetings are organized between leaders from the different communities. The spectators who come to watch the dance and drama competitions are charged ticket prices, which helps fund the initiative. Through engagement in this program, youth from indigenous and migrant communities have forged long-lasting relationships that have contributed to conflict resolution and management at the local level.

The association is sustained by the kindness of the social corporate responsibility, membership, together with the committed partners, staff, volunteers and well – wishers with a calling.}WHAT WE DO

​

[CCPE recognizes the diversity of the Australian communities. Some of the problems in communities where CCPE works require international solutions and collaborations. CCPE works with other organizations and communities around the world to strengthen and creating opportunities for addressing disadvantage, exclusion and deprivation. Focus areas include prevention of conflicts and crises; care for care givers (prevention of vicarious trauma); prevention of trafficking, settlement and re-integration of disadvantaged children, former detainees and asylum seekers. CCPE’s role is to steer implementation through identification, evaluation and building capacities of networks and partners involved in the initiatives.}HOW WE DO IT
