About Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing
Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing (TIMHWB) is a ground-breaking research program transforming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental health care through Aboriginal leadership and authentic partnerships with Aboriginal organisations.
Three streams of research activity are defining and establishing culturally safe mental health support, through building an evidence base of what works.
Our vision is that all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have the opportunity to thrive through services and systems that better support their needs, with a focus on:
- empowering access to services
- building a culturally competent workforce and;
- establishing cultural safety in mainstream clinical services including through the employment of cultural healers and Elders.
