Overview

The Walk tall program aims to support individuals in overcoming issues (including substance use, violence, and hopelessness) through education and support. The program, run by the Palmerston Association in Western Australia, provides participants with strategies to deal with these issues in positive, healthy and mature ways. The program improves clients' access to health services and aims to provide men with a safe environment to share experiences.

Walk tall provides culturally appropriate support to Indigenous people in Katanning. This support includes:

• substance use services
• health support through its community nurse
• guidance and referral to primary health and other support services
• family support through its Yarning and parenting program.
