Interplay Wellbeing Framework: Cultural indicators and the holistic nature of Aboriginal health
Presenter: Sheree Cairney
Authors: Associate Professor Sheree Cairney1
Affiliations: 1Centre for Remote Health, Flinders University, Alice Springs, Australia
Abstract:
Wellbeing has been difficult to understand, measure and strengthen in remote Aboriginal and To
es Strait Islander communities.
Part of the challenge has been genuinely engaging community members and incorporating their values and priorities into policy.
To improve Aboriginal wellbeing and
eak continuing cycles of failure and disadvantage, markers of success must be more
attainable, relevant, and reflect cultural strengths and community values. Aboriginal knowledge is passed down through stories, and
governments mainly speak the language of numbers, so we collaborated to merge Aboriginal knowledge and western science – by
inging together stories and numbers.
Over four years, we applied a ‘shared space’ model whereby community, government and researchers collaborated to design and
implement a holistic Interplay Wellbeing Framework for remote communities.
It integrates identified Aboriginal priorities being culture, empowerment and community with those prioritized by government,
including education, employment and health. These six domains are integrated a holistic model of wellbeing.
Key inte
elationships are presented involving health, mental health and health services in remote communities, and their interplay
with wellbeing. Analyses show health services directly impact health and mental health, and health doesn’t influence wellbeing
directly but indirectly through mental health. This reinforces the importance of considering health holistically when addressing
Aboriginal health and wellbeing.
The framework provides a statistical tool to objectively measure and strengthen wellbeing. It uses data visualization software and
video to represent community values of culture and empowerment and identify statistically proven pathways to improve wellbeing.
Longitudinal data is being collected against the framework.
KidsMatter: A whole-of-setting approach to children’s mental health and wellbeing
Presenters: Kate Mcneilly, Lyn O'Grady
Authors: Miss Kate Mcneilly1, Dr Lyn O'Grady1
Affiliations: 1Australian Psychological Society, Melbourne, Australia
Abstract:
KidsMatter is a national mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention initiative for primary schools and early
childhood education and care (ECEC) services. Good mental health is a core factor for learning and life, and mentally healthy
children learn better, have stronger relationships and are better prepared for meeting the challenges of life. Experiences during
childhood have lifelong effects on children’s achievement, social development and mental and physical health.
KidsMatter provides an evidence-informed framework that em
aces a whole-of-setting approach for promotion, prevention and
early intervention relating to children’s mental health and wellbeing. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health
and beyondblue, KidsMatter was developed in collaboration with beyondblue, the Australian Psychological Society, the Principals
Australia Institute and Early Childhood Australia.
KidsMatter implements strategies across four key areas which impact on children’s mental health and wellbeing: a positive
environment; social and emotional development; working with parents and carers; and early intervention for children’s mental
health problems. Bringing mental health, education and early childhood expertise together at the national, state and local levels,
the KidsMatter framework is underpinned by a socio-ecological approach that emphasises the impacts that families, schools, early
childhood services and communities have on children’s mental health and wellbeing.
This presentation will provide an outline of the KidsMatter framework and how it promotes positive mental health as well as
addresses early intervention responses to mental health difficulties in children. The role of health and community professionals in
the KidsMatter model will also be explored.
