Harmony Hub:

Supporting Social and
Emotional Wellbeing for Mob

Welcome to our Harmony Hub – an online place dedicated to introducing our Outreach Health Support Services that support this core aspect of our culture.

Here, we invite you to explore the services and support programs designed to nurture the emotional resilience, cultural pride, and holistic health of our mob.

Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) is the heartbeat of our Aboriginal communities, and its significance goes far beyond words – it’s the very essence of our collective spirit.

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Social and Emotional Wellbeing isn’t just important; it’s a lifeline that connects us to our heritage, our land, and each other.

SEWB: The Heartbeat of
Healing & Cultural Connection

What is SEWB?

SEWB stands for ‘Social and Emotional Wellbeing’. It refers to our overall mental health and emotional state, as well as our ability to interact effectively with others and engage in meaningful relationships and activities.

Why is it Important?

Social and emotional wellbeing is the source of resilience that allows us to heal from historical traumas, maintain our unique cultural practices, and nurture the bonds that tie us to our ancestral roots and each other.

Healing

Consider a tree as a metaphor for healing and its deep connection to culture.

‘…the fruit is me, the branches and the trunk are our culture, and the roots are our philosophy, our spirituality. To keep this tree strong we need to feed it, to fertilise it, and then the tree stands strong and the fruit becomes good. If we concentrate just on the tree, then the fruit will never be good…’
