✨ Supporting the wellbeing of First Nations workers in health and community care
✨ Health and community workers are the heartbeat of our communities

They’re the ones who show up when we need them most—providing care, support, and hope. But to care for others, they need to be cared for too.

This new guide is designed to empower the First Nations workforce by incorporating self-reflection practices to promote worker wellbeing.

Developed for ACCHS workers, it’s also relevant for First Nations workers in health and wellbeing spaces. Grounded in the Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) framework, this resource offers:

🌱 Activities and ideas to support self-care.

🧠 Strategies for managing stress and burnout.

🧘‍♀️ Tools for mindfulness and setting boundaries.

📋 A psychosocial safety plan to protect mental health.

The website includes research reports, fact sheets, newsletters, and more resources to support worker wellbeing. Let’s invest in the health of those who uplift our communities! 🌟

Colonial load, stress, vicarious trauma and burnout are real, and everyday, workers are experiencing these additional demands. It’s important to highlight that it’s not just workers to manage these demands but organisations have a responsibility to address these factors too. Setting clear boundaries and being in culturally safe environments can support this. Check in with yourself regularly, speak to people you trust and think about what else you can do to achieve better balance, this sometimes may mean leaving an organisation that doesn’t align with your values.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples often face unique and heightened workplace stressors, including racism, discrimination, and the weight of “colonial load”— the cumulative impacts of colonization that continue to affect daily life.
While systemic change and top-down solutions are essential to address these deeper issues, there are some easy steps that non-Indigenous managers and colleagues can take to foster a more supportive and inclusive workplace environment.

In this blog, we’ll be highlighting resources designed to help both non-Indigenous allies create a culturally safe and respectful workplace, and also resources that can support First Nations health and wellbeing workers.

Health and wellbeing professionals are essential in supporting the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people as they transition into adulthood.

A strong connection to culture, identity, community, and kinship is particularly important. These connections serve as protective factors that enhance social and emotional wellbeing, helping to mitigate risks such as racism, discrimination, trauma, and loss.

Fostering positive social and emotional wellbeing enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth to grow into healthy adults, realizing their full potential and contributing to the ongoing resilience and strength of their people.

Young people are the most frequent users of digital technologies, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth have contributed to the development of online resources found on WellMob especially for young people.
