Dr Annie Kennedy, Manager, Ntaria Stronger Communities for Children, Tjuwanpa Outstation Resource Centre, Via Hermannsburg, NT, Australia

Over the past 12 months Rhythm2Recovery has run two workshops in Ntaria involving predominantly local Indigenous staff employed to work with children and youth.  Feedback from participants in these workshops was highly favourable.  Simon’s ability to use plain language and fun, practical exercises meant language differences were easily overcome.  Simon also demonstrated a keen understanding of how cultural differences can be accommodated through his sensitive delivery style. In particular, he understood how shame could be avoided in group learning contexts.  Simon also responded to the training needs we articulated by designing an appropriate set of activities for the time available and provided us with advice and support when needed after the workshops were completed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rhythm2Recovery to others who may be interested in running Simon’s workshops in a remote, Indigenous context.  He understands the need to build local capacities, works with cultural respect and sensitivity, and has shown responsiveness to local culture and conditions.
