Torres Strait Islander Mental Health and Wellbeing book was a collaboration between the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) and the Institute’s Kulunga Research Network funded through the Department of Health and Ageing.
<br>
<br>
The book is intended for staff and students and all practitioners working in areas that support Indigenous mental health and wellbeing and is being offered free of charge. Please go to Kulunga website at the Telethon Institute for Child Health research

<br>
<br>
Working Together offers new approaches to Indigenous mental health that acknowledge the importance of cultural identity and resilience as well as the pervasive effects of racism, and the disempowerment of colonisation and assimilationist policies.

<br>
The book incorporates culturally specific clinical mental health assessment processes and culturally appropriate treatment interventions.
<br>
<br>
This book has been widely endorsed by relevant Australian Government Ministers and senior personnel in their departments reviewed by peer across several disciplines, as well as market tested in three sites across Australia. The feedback has been very positive
