Group activities are used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care, standalone substance use and Bringing Them Home and Link Up counselling service provider organisations. Group activities are used to promote and support good health, through relationship and network building, and by providing opportunities for information sharing and education within a supportive environment. Group activities range from general support groups, such as living skills groups, to groups aimed at particular populations such as antenatal groups, mothers’ and babies’ groups, cultural groups and men’s and women’s groups. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services group activities cluster describes group activities provided by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service providers during the reporting period. |
