I am a Senior Project Officer within the Women's and Kids theme here at SAHMRI. Currently, I am overseeing the Keeping Dads Strong For Family project, which targets expectant and current Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander fathers. This initiative examines their strengths, their experiences during the perinatal period, including their journey as fathers, and identifies what support would help them remain strong for their families. We aim to do this with exploring the current state of wellbeing of the new and expectant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dads and discuss their needs through yarning circles to develop suitable supports and or interventions.

SAHMRI is located on Kaurna Country. We pay respects to the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We are committed to embracing knowledge and culture as we continue our working journey to incorporate Aboriginal health research across all of our themes and further reconciliation.
