🤲🏾 Developing wellbeing (trauma) informed care approaches across Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services in the Kimberley region 🖤💛❤️

This new research project aims to improve clinical responses to experiences of trauma that many Aboriginal patients experience, and the impacts this has on their health care access and engagement.

The collaborative project is lead by The Rural Clinical School of Western Australia and The University of Western Australia’s Medical School, in partnership with KAMS, BRAMS and the Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing research project.

Amazing job team!! 🤜🏾

“We see their eyes when they come to us. We see the eyes and the eyes tell us that person is sick,” healer Patricia says.

“They come to us ladies and we sing that healing song to them. We put the red ochre on them first to protect them, because the women’s song is so strong. And after that, they feel real good. They feel settled and calm and everything.”

Proudly presenting Social and Emotional Wellbeing: A Welcome Guide for the Aboriginal Workforce 🖤💛❤️

KAMS and the Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing Project (TIMHWP) have developed this manual as a reference tool for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Teams.

This manual uses real stories from SEWB workers and other health professionals from across the Kimberley region, as well as Aboriginal community members to talk about their experiences with SEWB services.

Big shout out to all who contributed, including the amazing KAMS SEWB Team - Denise Cox, Zac Cox, Abby-Rose Cox & Lenny Ansey 👏🏾
