About the programme
Wellbeing grounded in culture
The Social and Emotional Wellbeing Cultural Program is funded by the Northern Queensland Primary Health Network and commenced in August 2023.
Torres Health provides culturally appropriate Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) services to young people and their families, including enhancing SEWB linkage, access and support for young people at boarding school from the Outer Islands of the Torres Strait.
Our model of care
Culture at the foundation of care
Embedding cultural, environmental and spiritual wellbeing as the foundation of Torres Health services and our Model of Care means every programme enables protective factors: connection to land and ancestry, enduring kinship bonds within family and community, and the unique spirituality and cultural identity central to being Torres Strait Islander.
