It is the intention of this research to describe the mediating factors of racial identity and related self-esteem that influence Aboriginal people’s mental wellbeing. This project aims to strengthen the social, cultural and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal children aged 4-12 years, youth aged 13-17 and adults from 18 years onwards across three sites:
- Metropolitan
- Regional and
- Rural.
Over 400 participants were involved in the project. We now have developed the following instruments:
- IRISE_YC for 4 to 7 year olds
- IRISE_C for 8-12 year olds
- IRISE_Y for 13 to 17 year olds
- IRISE_A for 18+
- PAPC for non-Aboriginal parents, carers and guardians of Aboriginal children and young people
