What is WellMob?

WellMob is a digital library of over 500 mental health and wellbeing resources developed by and for First Nations Australians including websites, apps, videos, fact sheets, podcasts, pdfs, and social media.

The landing page hosts a video to introduce the website and shows how best to search for a specific resource.

How is WellMob different to mainstream health resources?

WellMob takes a holistic strength-based approach around Indigenous wellbeing. The resources provide information, stories of lived experience, promote hope, and break down shame or stigma about mental health and wellbeing issues.

How can I find the right resource?

WellMob is easy to navigate. The resources have been grouped under six broad topics: Mind, Body, Our Mob, Culture, Keeping Safe, and Healing. Each of these main topics link to several sub-topics. In three clicks it is possible to find culturally appropriate resources without having to search the web. WellMob also hosts resources supporting self-care for workers.

Shortcuts

There are 20 Resource Sheets for Workers, short cuts to WellMob’s best resources on common wellbeing topics including anxiety, suicide prevention, parenting, alcohol, cultural identity, LGBTQIA+, vaping, understanding social and emotional wellbeing.

Building cultural understanding

WellMob has 200 Training Resources for health and wellbeing workers to strengthen cultural understanding and safety in practice. This may be especially useful for non-Indigenous staff.
