The Katina Woodruff Children's Foundation exists to repair young lives and to help with the unique challenges of child immigration, a traumatic transition affecting many children in Australia.
The Foundation supports children within Australia in rebuilding their lives following past or current trauma, adjusting to a new language and culture and building skills to fully participate in Australian life and their community.
The Foundation offers its services free of charge to schools who have students in desperate need of support. The goal is to enable the children as well as their families to continue their successful transition following the completion of intensive involvement in their lives and homes.
