Ngaimpe Aboriginal Corporation set up The Glen in 1994. Since that time, it has been an example of the Koori spirit, and indeed the human spirit. The Glen provides opportunities for drug and alcohol rehabilitation for Indigenous and non-Indigenous men from all over NSW.

Our clients’ stories are evidence that dreams can come true and lives can be changed. Seeing the pain and suffering in the community at the hands of drug and alcohol addiction was the motivation for founding The Glen.

The Glen’s program is designed to treat a client in a holistic manner by addressing all of their issues. This means that we treat the person as a whole (spiritually, mentally and physically). We don’t just treat their addiction, we also look at things in their life that may be causing the addictive behaviours. Our program is about empowering people to take control of their lives, to live a good, fun life and to become active members of their families and the community as a whole.

The Glen’s program is based on Indigenous values and spirituality, with a heavy emphasis on the individual and the consequences of the individual’s choices. It includes group sessions, one-to-one counselling, work programs, sport and self-help meetings.
