Funded Activity Summary

Closing the gap between the wellbeing of Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth: A comparative case study. Indigenous communities in Australia (and elsewhere) suffer from extreme disadvantage. Northern Australia and many other places face a demographic time bomb of alienated, self-destructive and culturally disoriented youth, with this manifested in violence and abuse. An evidence-based approach will build upon community strengths and knowledge moving beyond welfare or paternalistic approaches to improve the wellbeing of Indigenous young people. Ultimately the project aims to develop interventions for Indigenous youth that work towards closing the gap between the wellbeing of Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth.
