Healing Spirits, Healing Minds
The Healing Spirits, Healing Minds project is a 3 year (2023-2026) NHMRC and Beyond Blue funded project. The project is working collaboratively with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-led programs to identify gaps in services and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth and address these. The project aims to gain a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youths' greatest challenges, risks for poor mental health and suicidality, and key strengths and resilience factors. The project will work collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth and experts to co-design a SEWB program and/or adapt current programs to effectively meet youths' needs.
The PhD candidate will be an integral part of our multidisciplinary team of experts to help support the overarching project and add their own elements in the broad area of youth SEWB, suicidality, and/or resilience. We are seeking someone with a background in mental health and/or Indigenous health and with knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems and cultures. A working knowledge of the SEWB framework would be highly desirable. The successful candidate will be supported by our team of experts to further develop their skills in mental health, SEWB, and qualitative, quantitative, and Indigenous research methodologies, as desired.
