==Trauma and healing== Trauma suffered as a result of children being separated from their families and forced to adopt a culture foreign to them is ongoing and passed down through generations.<ref name=lorraine>{{cite news |title=Stolen Generations survivor Aunty Lorraine has been healing her mob for 20 years |work=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]] |publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=1 June 2020 |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-01/stolen-generations-survivor-aunty-lorraines-healing-program/12224998 |first=Anna |last=Salleh |access-date=1 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240525151026/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-01/stolen-generations-survivor-aunty-lorraines-healing-program/12224998 |archive-date=25 May 2024}}</ref> The '''Healing Foundation''' is a government-funded body<ref name=lorraine/> established on 30 October 2009 as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Foundation was established after several months of consultation with community representatives.<ref>{{cite web |title=Our History |website=Healing Foundation |date=7 December 2016 |url=https://healingfoundation.org.au/about-us/our-history/ |access-date=1 July 2020}}</ref> The head office is in [[Canberra]], with branches in [[Melbourne]], [[Brisbane]], [[Adelaide]], [[Darwin, NT|Darwin]] and on the [[Torres Strait Islands]]. {{As of|2020}} the Foundation had provided funding for more than 175 community organisations to develop and run healing projects, "to address the ongoing [[Psychological trauma|trauma]] caused by actions like the forced removal of children from their families".

Her body of work was [[copyright]]ed and subsequently circulated to and used by many organisations to help survivors to heal from specific types of trauma suffered as a result of the removals. Peeters then developed the Marumali Program to train Indigenous counsellors to use her model.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Marumali |website=Marumali |date=3 September 1999 |url=https://marumali.com.au/about-marumali |access-date=1 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240630131006/https://marumali.com.au/about-marumali |archive-date=30 June 2024}}</ref> {{as of|June 2020}}, she and her daughter continue to give workshops, both in the community and in prisons. ''Marumali'' is a [[Gamilaroi language|Gamilaroi]] word meaning "to put back together", and she says it relates to the ultimate goal of reconnecting with what has been lost. She continues to advise the Healing Foundation.<ref name=lorraine/>
