Start stronger, live longer: resource manual guide for Aboriginal health workers (2010)

Description

This resource package was produced to increase Aboriginal health workers' knowledge in the areas of maternal, child, and adolescent health and wellbeing. The aim of the resource is to empower Aboriginal health workers so they can continue in their efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and communities.

The resource package consists of eight different sections covering the following health areas:

• introduction
• pregnancy and maternity
• Aboriginal infants and children
• Aboriginal adolescents and young people
• nutrition and being active
• mental health and wellbeing
• smoking, alcohol, and other substances
• health promotion and research.

Each section can be individually downloaded from the Kulunga website and includes references, web links, and program information relevant to the section topic.
