What to expect
Social and Emotional Wellbeing
Aboriginal concepts of wellbeing are holistic in nature and include mental, physical, social, spiritual and cultural wellbeing.
Connection to land, family and spirituality play a central role in wellbeing and healing.
Social and Emotional Wellbeing problems can arise from grief, loss, trauma, substance use, child removal, incarceration, family breakdown, racism, social disadvantage and cultural dislocation.
We provide an effective and culturally safe service to help restore wellbeing.
Healing and recovery goals vary and may include areas like physical and mental health, self-confidence, social and community connection, interpersonal relationships, spirituality, education and skill development, and employment.
This service is free for participants.
