Bindi Bennett: Indigenous Health and Wellbeing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This edited collection brings together the voices and knowledge of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Maori / Pasifika communities to explore decolonisation across healthcare, land-based healing, mental health, and Indigenous-led policy transformation through a strengths-based lens.

Blending traditional knowledge with modern health practices, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on Indigenous health and wellbeing. Featuring case studies from Australia, Aotearoa, North America and other Indigenous nations, Indigenous Health and Wellbeingbridges gaps in literature by focusing on contemporary challenges, resilience, lived experience and practice-based solutions.

Structured around four key themes, it will cover:

• Decolonising health care and policy, addressing colonial impacts, systemic racism and epistemicide
• Mental health and social wellbeing, highlighting Indigenous-led healing and resilience strategies
• LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse perspectives on health, social and emotional wellbeing
  >By centring Indigenous knowledge and fostering cross-cultural understanding, this book advocates for systemic change while celebrating the resilience, knowledge, and agency of Indigenous communities.
