A more holistic approach
There is a growing body of work dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing frameworks, research and practices.
The term social and emotional wellbeing is used by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to describe the social, emotional, spiritual and cultural wellbeing of a person. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, health and wellbeing is viewed holistically and sense of self includes the individual, their kin (family), community and Country (land, sea, and sky). Mental and physical wellbeing are viewed as important domains that are inextricably linked and of equal value to the other necessary domains of wellbeing.
