Our Philosophy
The Warrior Woman Foundation is a socially inclusive organisation welcoming young women from all nationalities and religions to join a network of women passionate about helping other women. We are a registered Australian charity which contributes to the health and well-being of the Australian community and the advancement of women at large. We are not affiliated with any religious or political organisations.
We have a three-tiered holistic approach to our program delivery focusing on connection, support, and education. This is based on the three principals of the "Self Determination Theory" which is particularly relevant for youth leaving care. Self-Determination Theory emphasises the importance of fulfilling three simultaneous needs: relatedness (connection), autonomy (life skills education), and competence (support). The Warrior Woman Foundation also uses a theory driven approach and evidence-based practice based on the Model of Youth Mentoring (Rhodes 2005) "Close, enduring mentoring relationships influence youth outcomes through social/emotional, cognitive, and identity development."
