Life Promotions Project
“We Know Our Strengths” Project
Waltja (leading agency) and the LPP team (supporting agency) were funded from January 2007 to June 2009 to work in three remote communities to develop the “We Know Our Strengths” project. The communities were Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa), Titjikala and Amundurrngu (Mt Liebig). The main objectives were to:
- Develop culturally safe and appropriate resources that will contribute to the sharing of theirs and our understanding of suicide prevention
- Support the development or continuation of activities that celebrate and strengthen the capacity of families within these communities and help protect people from suicide
- Deliver and train others to deliver culturally appropriate education and training programs that increase skills and understanding of the issues of suicide and good mental health.
This project has been completed with a final workshop presented at 7-Mile in March 2009.
The learnings from this project have been summarized in the resource The Working Well Guide
