Footsteps to change story (2006)

Description

This one-page leaflet has been developed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are experiencing social and emotional wellbeing issues. The leaflet aims to help people manage their social and emotional wellbeing issues by asking them to identify:

• things that keep me strong
• people who keep me strong
• my early warning signs
• things that take away my strengths
• my goal.

The leaflet includes lots of examples and two versions of the leaflet have been developed, one for females and another for males.
