Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Discover resources and support to help either yourself or someone you know who identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is experiencing mental health challenges.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples the holistic concept of Social and Emotional Well-being recognises the importance of connection to land, culture, spirituality, ancestry, family, and community. How to best support a friend who identifies as first nation can be different for different mobs and individuals around Australia, so it is always best not to assume, and to check with the person themselves.
