Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing Services - Putting community-driven, strengths-based approaches into practice

This report investigates perceptions and practices of community-driven, strengths-based approaches to Aboriginal health and wellbeing services.² It particularly considers what success looks like to organisations providing these services, how they go about achieving it, and how policy environments (especially funding structures) can better enable their work. The report is part of a series of three discussion papers examining strengths-based approaches and deficit discourse in the field of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing.
