Aboriginal health policy and practice continues to address Aboriginal child health and wellbeing from a whole-of-population deficit discourse, further exacerbating Aboriginal disadvantage for Aboriginal children and young people. Furthermore, population health level data provides an opportunity to understand the complexities of health and wellbeing for urban Aboriginal children and young people yet such information is rarely documented. \u0000This paper seeks to discuss the development of multi-disciplinary community-based Aboriginal child health services in an urban community using strengths-based principles. We highlight the opportunities and challenges in addressing Aboriginal child health over a ten-year period, and demonstrate that access to culturally safe, resilience-building services can produce measurable improvements in health seeking behaviour, maternal health and early intervention. Within, we draw on holistic frameworks to demonstrate that optimal outcomes can be achieved through integrated interdisciplinary models of care that are responsive to the needs of the local community, understand the social determinants of health and build resilience – all critically important to addressing Aboriginal child health and wellbeing","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140691022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, how culture matters for health, what cultural practices are used in community to support health and wellbeing, and how culture is passed on in Aboriginal contemporary life in south east Australia – a region most affected by settler-colonisation – is not well understood. This paper presents findings from yarns with a representative sample of 45 Indigenous participants working in the field of health and wellbeing that explored how culture interleaves with health and wellbeing. It used Grounded Theory as the overarching methodology with community participation in all aspects of the project. Participants were nominated through snowballing and screened by a governing Board of Elders. They included men and women of varied ages, half residing in urban areas and half from rural Victoria, Australia. They had declared affiliations to 31 Traditional tribal groups. The yarns were held over zoom between a FN research assistant who was part of the community, and each participant. Each was recorded, transcribed, coded and analysed by a multi-perspectival team. Culture was viewed as central to individual and communal life, and passed on through relationships with people and Country itself. A wide variety of cultural practices were used by community members to aid and maintain health and wellbeing in profound ways. Myriad obstacles to health and wellbeing exist were also described, from experiences of disconnection through to barriers for accessing services. These findings have the potential to shape future holistic care and policy.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140373662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indigenous midwives and doulas are important leaders in resisting these conditions and reclaiming traditional Indigenous birth knowledge and practices. Ultimately, they work to uphold Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty. Grounded in an understanding of historical and current challenges regarding Indigenous maternal health, this qualitative study explored how best to situate oneself as a settler researcher and maternal health practitioner to support Indigenous maternal health in a culturally safe, anti-racist manner. In this article, key insights are shared from semi-structured interviews conducted with five prominent Indigenous scholars, midwives and community leaders. These consultants emphasized the central importance of intentional relationships in advancing the reclamation of traditional birth practices and providing culturally safe care, along with the indispensability of Indigenous midwives and doulas in these processes. Consultants also stressed the critical need for increased numbers of, and accessibility to, Indigenous practitioners in communities across the country. Settler practitioners are urged to understand the historical and contemporary impacts of settler colonialism, and the significance of building culturally safe, anti-racist relationships with their Indigenous colleagues and clients.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, education focused on incorporating an early palliative care approach for community health-related workers is necessary. To address this gap, we tested the CAPACITI curriculum with 12 health care providers working in First Nations communities across Ontario, 11 of which were members of a First Nations community, and engaged them in a collaborative process to co-design an education program that they felt was representative of First Nations values and culture. The co-designers were trained as nurses (n=8), personal support workers (n=2), a social worker (n=1), and a physician (n=1). We met with them for 12 weekly one hour sessions. They completed a workbook of questions and recommendations to tailor the education to a First Nations community context. We incorporated these recommendations into the new education by reviewing existing material, making notes of suggested changes, and adding new content. We redesigned the education according to several themes: incorporating culture, recognizing First Nations health care workers and knowledge, and approaching education wholistically. The resulting program, Supporting the Journey Home: Growing the Community Bundle to Care for those with Serious Illness, gives First Nations health care providers practical resources to operationalize an early palliative care approach with community members. To our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the co-design process of an existing palliative care education program with First Nations health care providers.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yarning semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with thirteen Aboriginal young people in two regions of New South Wales. Thematic analysis was undertaken by all research members to identify themes from the data and conceptual connections between them. Identified themes from individual analysis and coding were triangulated during several analysis meetings to finalize key themes and findings. Aboriginal young people identified that Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services offered culturally safe Social and Emotional Wellbeing service supports, whereas mainstream mental health services did not. Aboriginal young people proposed that institutional reforms such as increasing engagement with cultural competency programs, employing more Aboriginal staff, and implementing culturally meaningful services, would increase Cultural Safety in mainstream mental health services. Cultural Safety within mainstream mental health services should be enhanced to ensure the subjective Social and Emotional Wellbeing support needs of Aboriginal young people are understood, addressed, and supported. Without Aboriginal young people having confidence that mainstream mental health services and systems are prioritising Cultural Safety when providing supports, mainstream mental health systems risk failing to reduce mental health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing disparities unjustly experienced by Aboriginal young people in New South Wales.","PeriodicalId":54163,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Indigenous Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
