The workshop focused on empowerment and accountability as ways to reduce suicide among Indigenous people and young people. CBPATSISP Director Professor Pat Dudgeon commented: The attendance of young people, those with lived experience of suicide, LGBTQI, emerging leaders and Elders was important at the workshop. It’s critical that we listen to, and learn from them if we are to understand how to best respond. Empowering our young people and Elders to lead in suicide prevention activity particularly in their communities – was what the workshop was all about. It became clear to all present that we need to empower our incredible young people to lead in preventing suicide among their peers by ‘getting out of their way’, while also supporting them to lead. The workshop made a number of Calls to Action. Professor Dudgeon outlined: The first Call was for a dedicated COAG Indigenous Suicide Prevention Plan developed by Indigenous leaders for nation-wide implementation within the COAG Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan implementation process. This plan requires to implement a strong Indigenous youth component co-designed by our young leaders into the National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander Peoples’ Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing 2017-2023. We, as leaders at the workshop, are committed to supporting our young people in this process as well as to an inclusive broader plan development process where all Indigenous voices are heard. A second Call was for greater funding to Aboriginal Community Controlled Health services to be able to deliver mental health services according to need. Professor Dudgeon continued: Research has shown that communities who have high levels of self-determination have lower rates of suicide. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services are the part of communities and know their local issues, so they are best to provide services. Professor Dudgeon closed: Underlying these complex issues are the need for empowerment, self-determination, culture and for community to heal at the national and community levels. In these are the ultimate and sustainable solutions to Indigenous suicide and youth suicide. We need communities empowered with the mental health services and mental health education they need, communities empowered to address the dire conditions and challenges they face. For it is hope that is the greatest defence against suicide our young people and our Elders are our hope for our future. This workshop demonstrated how incredible and ready they are to lead a national response to Indigenous youth suicide.

These programs have always had an evaluation component built in. However, over time, the evaluations have changed. Initially, they were summative, built around a quantitative psychometric tool (with a positivist research paradigm). The

It is equally important that such workshops are appropriately evaluated to ensure that they are relevant, refined and continued within communities. This paper focuses on an evaluation of the one-day Preventing Lateral Violence workshop.
- [Indigenous mental health: The limits of medicalised solutions](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/indigenous-mental-health-the-limits-of-medicalised-solutions-2/) - Objective: The excess burden of mental disorders experienced by Indigenous Australians is complexly overdetermined. Social and political factors contributing to the intransigence of vulnerability are reviewed, and the wider arena of neoliberal political change considered.Conclusions: The dynamic relationship between disadvantage and mental health vulnerability requires that practitioners should be attuned to both the ‘big picture’ and ‘modest

Using Western therapeutic models of practice with Aboriginal people who live in remote communities can be highly problematic. Moreover, the historical legacy of past and present legislation, government interventions and racist service provision needs to be acknowledged and addressed prior

The aim of this literature review was to determine the cultural appropriateness and identify evidence for the effectiveness of current gatekeeper suicide prevention training programs within the international Indigenous community.Method:Using a systematic strategy, relevant databases and targeted resources were searched using the following terms:
- [Culture-bound syndromes in Aboriginal Australian populations](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/culture-bound-syndromes-in-aboriginal-australian-populations-2/) - Objective: This paper describes the validation of culture-bound syndromes with Urban (N=34) and Rural (N=31) Aboriginal participants. While culture bound syndromes have long been discussed in the international literature (see Cuellar & Paniagua, 2000), published empirical research with Aboriginal Australian populations remains absent. Critically, the secret nature of Aboriginal cultural practices presents additional research challenges

In contrast to this deficit-based approach, in this paper I employed an Anishinaabeg research paradigm and followed Anishinaabeg protocols to understand how Anishinaabeg women are creating wellbeing for themselves, their families, and communities
- [Conceptualising wellbeing for Australian Aboriginal LGBTQA+ young people](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/conceptualising-wellbeing-for-australian-aboriginal-lgbtqa-young-people/) - It is likely that young people who are both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and LGBTQA+ would be at increased risk for poor mental health outcomes due to the layered impacts of discrimination they experience; however, there is very little empirical evidence focused on the mental health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
- [The social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous LGBTQA+ young people: a global perspective](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/the-social-and-emotional-wellbeing-of-indigenous-lgbtqa-young-people-a-global-perspective/) - There has been scant exploration of the social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) of young Indigenous populations that identify as LGBTQA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Asexual +). Given the vulnerability of this cohort living in Western settler colonial societies, wider investigation is called for to respond to their needs, experiences and aspirations. This paper summarizes

In a 2014 study, the Kimberley Mum’s Mood Scale (KMMS) was validated as an acceptable perinatal depression and anxiety screening tool for Aboriginal women in the Kimberley
- [Indigenous healing practices in Australia](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/indigenous-healing-practices-in-australia/) - Indigenous Australian women are among the most disadvantaged women in the world. Over two centuries of colonization have had a damaging impact on perceptions of their gender roles and status as well as many other consequential oppressions. These experiences have affected the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous women of all ages, resulting in socio-economic

This cycle contributes to the over-representation of Aboriginal Australians in prison and higher rates of recidivism. Our research examined how primary health care can better
- [Young offenders, maltreatment, and trauma: A pilot study](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/young-offenders-maltreatment-and-trauma-a-pilot-study/) - Although a large number of studies offer consistent and persuasive evidence that exposure to childhood maltreatment and subsequent juvenile offending behaviours are related, relatively few studies have investigated the mechanisms by which maltreatment might increase risk in young offender populations. The aim of this pilot study was to collate data on the key areas of
- [Suicide /self-harm-risk reducing effects of an Aboriginal art program for Aboriginal prisoners](https://cbpatsisp.com.au/publication/suicide-self-harm-risk-reducing-effects-of-an-aboriginal-art-program-for-aboriginal-prisoners/) - Objective: Aboriginal art is an effective, culture-specific therapy for Aboriginal people. This may have important implications for Aboriginal prisoners at risk of suicide/self-harm. This project aimed to evaluate the potential positive effects of Aboriginal art activities on the suicide/self-harm risk behaviours of Aboriginal prisoners.Method: A retrospective audit was undertaken of data related to the incidence
