About Us

Toora Women Inc. supports women facing complex challenges and those who have experienced past or present trauma, including:

This enables Toora to provide wrap-around, trauma-informed care within an integrated service system.

All our services are grounded in a human rights and gendered framework, and are based on a theoretical model of recovery, respect, and empowerment. We encourage self-help, minimise the effects of institutionalisation, and seek to reduce the harms associated with dependencies.
