Stay Strong, Look After You and Your Mob

Stay Strong, Look After You and Your Mob Campaign

The Stay Strong, Look After You and Your Mob campaign aims to increase knowledge of improving social and emotional well-being strategies, that support families and communities to gain and maintain their optimal level of SEWB.

The term social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) is the preferred term as it refers to the physical wellbeing of the individual and also the social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of the whole community.

This definition recognises the importance of connection to land, culture, spirituality, ancestry, family and community.
