Connection to culture - what works for you?

This is a factsheet from the Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing Project called 'The Dance of Life'.

Dance Of Life - Fact Sheet - FinalDraft2-LightOchre (timhwb.org.au)

- Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing Project (2022).The Dance of Life. University of Western Australia. https://doi.org./10.5281/zenodo.10042685

The social and emotional wellbeing wheel was created by ©Gee, Dudgeon, Schultz, Hart and Kelly, 2013 Artist: Tristan Schultz, RelativeCreative.

It talks about 7 important domains of social and emotional wellbeing:

connection to body
connection to mind and emotions
connection to family and kinship
connection to community
connection to culture
connection to country
connection to spirit, spirituality and ancestors.
