Addressing psychological distress is key

The enormous disparities in social and emotional wellbeing and mental health outcomes, and an apparent worsening of the circumstances of many Indigenous communities, were two of the major reasons that prompted Indigenous psychologists from all over the country to form the Australian Indigenous Psychologists Association (AIPA) in 2008, under the auspices of the Australian Psychological Society. AIPA has the dual aims of increasing the number of Indigenous psychologists and addressing the widening gap in social and emotional wellbeing and mental health outcomes for Indigenous peoples.
