Stay Strong, Look After You and Your Mob
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.
It is really important that we take care of ourselves so we can look after our families and communities.
Think about some things that you can do that help you to relax, improve your wellbeing or may help reduce your stress.
These could include:
- go for a walk
- spend time with your pets
- have a full health check/assessment
- talk to someone that you can trust
- read a book
- get a good night's sleep
- maintain a healthy diet
- exercise regularly
- have a cup of tea or a glass of water in a quiet place
- listen to your favourite music
- do some painting
- have a warm bath
- get a massage
- ask for help - it's ok to ask for help from family, friends, your doctor or a counsellor
- go back to country
- join a women or men's group
- go fishing or camping
- get some financial advice
- call a helpline
The campaign materials consist of:
