The National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing 2017–2023 (the Framework) proposes a model of social and emotional wellbeing with 7 overlapping domains:
- body
- mind and emotions
- family and kin
- community
- culture
- country
- spirituality and ancestors (PM&C 2017; Gee et al. 2014).
The Framework is intended to guide and inform mental health and wellbeing reforms affecting First Nations people in Australia. It describes the importance of social and emotional wellbeing for First Nations people and provides a model of it.
