This community based mental health initiative provides assessment and support services for Indigenous people suffering a mental illness on the Tiwi islands of the Northern Territory. The aims of this project are to meet the mental health needs of Aboriginal people and enhance their levels of social and emotional wellbeing utilising a network of local resources to achieve these objectives. This project encourages the participation of key community members to enable it to respond to the needs of the community and incorporates, for example, the Strong Men's and Strong Women's groups who meet monthly to discuss mental health and social issues relevant to individuals and families of the Tiwi community.
