“‘I'm the Professional,I Know What's Wrong and How to Fix You’: That's Not What the Stats Say.”

This program was developed from a need that has been identified for some time in clinical practice. Clinicians on the coalface have long been saying that to improve outcomes for indigenous people the practice of individuals needed to move past “cultural awareness” to culturally appropriate practice. Who though should decide what is appropriate in any given community? This program aims to build the capacity of the practitioner to work with the indigenous community to gain these skills.
