ForewordRuah Community Services is on an organisational journey to increase its responsiveness tothe Aboriginal community. Ruah has developed a cross-organisational strategic frameworkto guide this process. The framework is focused on ensuring a culturally competentworkforce, providing Aboriginal people with access to culturally secure services andfostering an organisational culture that celebrates and promotes Aboriginal culture and itsrightful place in Australian society. Ruah seeks to include an Aboriginal perspective into ourorganisation and to pay attention to Aboriginal people’s needs as a matter of priority.Ruah has also made a commitment to celebrating the anniversary of the CommonwealthGovernment’s apology to the stolen generation that occurred on February 13, 2008 eachyear. The occasion is used as an opportunity for Ruah to reflect on what it has done overthe preceding 12 months to increase its responsiveness to Aboriginal people, identify thechallenges that are still before it and gather with Ruah Aboriginal staff and guest speakersfrom the broader community.In February 2011 we are gathering at Kings Park at the Beedawong Meeting Place. Thisvenue was constructed in 2003 to provide a venue for ongoing Nyoongar cultural activitiesand visitor opportunities. It is used for storytelling, dance performances, quiet reflection andwe appreciate being able to gather in such a place.One of our goals is to produce a revised edition of this directory at the time of thisanniversary and thus this 2 nd Edition is being release at the above February anniversarygathering. The directory will be made available on our web site (www.ruah.com.au ) andelectronically to interested individuals and agencies.We received very positive feedback on the usefulness of the first edition so we hope itcontinues to be helpful resource.Perspectives on children, families and mental health is a resource unit working tosupport the capacity of the health and human services sectors in Western Australia towork together to improve outcomes for children and families where a parent experiencesa mental illness.Perspectives arises from the initiative of the WA Children of Parents with Mental Illness(COPMI) Project. This work was initiated by the then Office of Mental Health in thecommissioning of the Pathways to Resilience report (Office of Mental Health 2002)which describes the vulnerabilities of this group of children and their families and thesystemic and clinical issues that impede service delivery and good outcomes.The name Perspectives on children families and mental health is a very deliberatechoice. It recognises that all services, sectors, professional and consumer and carerpoints of view are important if we are to further our understanding and ability to respondto children and families and the recovery journey.
