ALMA Evidence-Linked Interventions
Minjerribah Cultural Education & Language Continuity
Cultural ConnectionOn-Country cultural education drawn from Quandamooka traditional knowledge. Language, saltwater culture, elders-teaching-young-people structures. Supports young people's cultural identity as protective factor against justice-system involvement. Engages local schools and families.
MMEIC Elders-in-Council Cultural Governance
Community-LedElder-in-Council governance model established 1994 on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island). Quandamooka elders exercise collective cultural authority over community decisions affecting young people, land, language, and cultural practice. Serves as a structural counterpart to formal youth-justice and child-protection systems by maintaining continuity of cultural responsibility through elders rather than agencies.
MMEIC Intergenerational Community Support
Family StrengtheningSupports families on Minjerribah across generations - elders mentoring young people, families supported through cultural and practical referral. Sits at the preventative end of the youth-justice spectrum by maintaining community relational fabric rather than treating individual behaviour after system contact.
