Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet abstract
The Stay strong plan is designed to be completed by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people experiencing problems with their mental health. Mental health practitioners can assist their clients in developing their own Stay strong plan. The plan encourages the client to reflect on the people and things in their life that help to keep them strong, set goals to help keep strong, and to identify when they are becoming unwell.
