Working towards Well Being

Nunkuwarrin Yunti auspices the SA Centre for Indigenous Social and Emotional Well Being (SA Regional Centre), which provides education, training and support to Social & Emotional Well Being health workers across South Australia.

'Health does not just mean the physical well being of the individual but refers to the social, emotional and cultural well being of the whole community. This is a whole of life view and includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life.' (NACCHO)
