It is about the importance of social and emotional wellbeing, and how this flows from a sense of control over one's own life. Where this is lacking, as it is in so many Aboriginal families and communities, there is instead indifference and despair and a descent into poor lifestyle choices and self-destructive behaviours. Our medical professionals do a great job of prescribing medicines and devising treatment programs but, to fix the root causes of ill-health, we need something more. As Aboriginal people we need to have a sense of agency in our lives, that we are not stray leaves blowing about in the wind. In a word, we need empowerment\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Pat Anderson, Chairperson, the Lowitja Institute, Australia's National Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Whiteside, Komla Tsey, Yvonne Cadet-James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319046179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319046174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Adis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.15d","brand":"Mary Whiteside","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940762747135,"sku":"9783319046174","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6aeeedd4-bbfb-4c19-914b-178c939a7e95.jpg?v=1681449044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/promoting-aboriginal-health-mary-whiteside-9783319046174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
