Aboriginal Family Health

Aboriginal Family Health Strategy

Culturally sensitive approaches in support of family relationships in Aboriginal communities form the basis of the Aboriginal Family Health Strategy. Centacare aims to work with communities to develop a whole-of-life approach to health, with strong partnerships and recognition of trauma and loss. Improved social, cultural and economic wellbeing and safe, nurturing communities form the basis of improved health outcomes.

 

Building Stronger Families

This project works with young Aboriginal men to develop greater confidence, improved family relationships and life-skills by engaging in activities that build self esteem and increase practical skills, including accreditation. Through these activities men are supported to develop an increased sense of maturity and responsibility, take up their role within the family and community with greater confidence, and ultimately reduce the levels of family violence.
