Uniting Communities Aboriginal Community Connect Reviews
Reviews of Aboriginal Community Connect from around the web are limited, as they tend to be for Aboriginal community services that work quietly and locally. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the Prospect site, and any community member who has used the service is welcome to share their experience.
Public comment about Uniting Communities usually covers the wider organisation rather than this Kaurna Country team. A first-hand view of the counselling, the women’s or men’s groups, the art and craft sessions or the Elders-led cultural activities would tell another family much more than a general rating of the provider.
