14.01.2022 [ CONNECTION ] During #SuicidePreventionWeek (6-12 Sept), we want to highlight the many community groups impacted by suicide and why this topic is so important. The suicide rate in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is twice that of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Passing on cultural knowledge to young people, from Elders encourages them to connect to country and build a basis for self-belief, self-confidence and self-respect. ... By adopting a ‘community-centred’ approach to healing that is led by local Elders and which involves building community and cultural strength as a foundation will help Indigenous youth be healthier, more resilient and more positive about their future.
