Workshop – Helping Aboriginal Clients

Although services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients are best delivered by indigenous caseworkers, it is often necessary for this to be undertaken by non-indigenous workers. In such cases it is important for such workers to understand the cultural issues involved. The Workshop aims to assist workers in gaining such an understanding.
Form or Join Project Groups
Be part of this group to have greater power to be heard and to change things for the better

Project Groups:

Although we share a common voice with many other mental health organizations we are different because we do not limit ourselves to just one age group or issue, one professional discipline or one support base, but care about the whole spectrum of issues affecting the mental health of young people and their families
