The aim of the literature review was to identify current and emerging issues, policies and approaches to meeting the mental health and SEWB needs of Aboriginal peoples who have been affected by forced removal from families, grief, trauma and loss. This was to include identification of best practice models and possible alternative service delivery models for consideration.
The literature review sought to identify:
- current thinking about best practice strategies for meeting the SEWB needs of Stolen Generations groups, both within Australia and internationally – including aspects ranging from counselling approaches to organisational and locational arrangements
- examples of good practice in meeting those needs
- the current situation regarding Stolen Generations people in Australia and any future trends.
