Importance of Cultural Connection

Having a strong cultural identity and knowledge helps young Indigenous Australians to make positive social connections and feel a sense of belonging with people in their family and Community (Renshaw, 2019).

​

In turn, this promotes resilience, enhances self- esteem, and protects from poor mental health, offering opportunities for living life to full potential (Dudgeon & Walker, 2010).

​

Killara understands the importance of deepening connections to Culture, and fostering the holistic wellbeing of staff and people who engage in our programs and services.
