Tharawal Social and Emotional Wellbeing

The term “social and emotional wellbeing” is used by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to describe the social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing of a person.

The term recognises that connection to land, culture, spirituality, family, and community are important to people and can impact on their wellbeing.

It also recognises that a person’s social and emotional wellbeing is influenced by policies and past events.

There are many different factors that can impact on a person’s social and emotional wellbeing.

These can range from normal everyday stresses to major life events.

Supporting and promoting the social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people and community.

We work from a belief that connection to land, culture, spirituality, family, and community are important to people and impact their wellbeing.
