Aboriginal languages

Australia's Indigenous Languages were lost due to government policies that prohibited First Nation's people from speaking in mother tongue. The loss of cultural knowledge negatively impacted the health and well-being of First Nations people.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health & Wellbeing

Resilience can be developed through a strong sense of identity and culture.
