Publication Highlights

This peer-reviewed paper summarises the findings of a national study that examined Indigenous AOD workers’ perspectives on their wellbeing, stress and burnout along with a series strategies to improve worker wellbeing. Some of the identified strategies included: mutual support networks; the provision of appropriate assertiveness training; taking into account Indigenous ways of working; adequate remuneration; supervision and mentorship; and cultural awareness training for non-Indigenous. NCETA utilised the findings from this study to develop the Feeling Deadly: Working Deadly Resource Kit.
