Support

Beyond Blue - www.youtube.com./watch?v=MvTyI41PvTk

  • Mental health can be identified/interpreted in multiple ways.

  • Indigenous communities have different perceptions of mental health.

  • In relation to Indigenous mental health, there are multiple elements that affect it.
  • Support is one of the most effective ways to help a person feel safe

  • Small support groups of family and friends are important as it can assist with expressing feelings and emotions.

  • Encourage the person to build personal relationships with people who they can trust

  • Beyond blue understands this and developed a framework and method that's successful
  • Communication methods that work best with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

  • Communicate key messages through the development and dissemination of culturally relevant resources and material

  • Address stigmas around mental health literacy within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (beyondblue, 2012).

Shame among Indigenous

http://www.beyondblue.org.au/

  • Shaming a person- how to discuss mental health issues with an individual without making them feel ashamed.

  • Trying to support the community and trying to make them try non-Indigenous treatments.

  • Shaming the family- help families realize the seriousness of the issue and let them know there is nothing to be ashamed of.
