Past HEAL Program Initiatives

Spreading joy this holiday season for our Elders (Dec 2024)

At BlaQ, we believe in giving back to our community and prioritizing the health and well-being of those who paved the way for us. We were excited to be able to deliver 50 Christmas Hampers to our Elders in the recent holiday season.  
 
These hampers were packed with nutritious goodies and festive treats to ensure our Elders feel cherished, supported, and celebrated during this special time of year.
 
 
HEAL LOGO by Yirra Miya

About the HEAL logo

This logo tells the story of the HEAL (healthy eating, active living) program by BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation. It shows a yarning circle on the lefthand side surrounded by people (upside down ‘U’ shapes) – this represents the safe space within the HEAL Program for people from all walks of life to engage with the program, learn skills that they can implement into their lives by their choice.

 

At the centre of this yarning circle is a representation of people with knowledge sticks to represent the space of sharing knowledge but also taking time to reflect and listen to what is being shared.

 

Towards the right side of the yarning circle are journey lines to represent the different journeys people will take in their health journey with the understanding that health and wellbeing needs to take a wholistic approach and acceptance that healthy looks different for each individual.

 

The HEAL program is a safe space for people to learn, to share and to better  understand themselves to journey through life.

Yirra Miya are a collaborative First Nations Creative Agency that works with businesses, entrepreneurs, and community-driven endeavours.  Yirra Miya brings together a diverse team of deadly creatives who share an unyielding passion for First Nations design, business growth and the art of visual storytelling.
