Stay Strong Care Plan
This strengths based mental health and wellbeing tool aims to improve culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by offering a holistic, person-centred approach to having a yarn about wellbeing. It is aimed at strengthening connections, goal setting and self-management of mental wellbeing.
The interactive tool allows users to select different options or to write down:
the people that keep them strong
the strengths in their life
the worries that can take their strength away
the goals that can make change.
