The Roadmap Project

Defining priority health needs and actions through the empowerment and capacity development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people
The Roadmap Project
Project Status: In progress
Project administered by: SAHMRI

The Social and Emotional Wellbeing Research Program is partnering with young people to develop the first national Roadmap to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescent health.

This Roadmap will identify the health needs and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and define evidence-based actions to address these needs.

We strongly believe that young people must be central to any effort to improve young people's health. To ensure this Roadmap is meaningful, effective and sustainable, its development will be governed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. The research team will work closely with young people, key stakeholders and experts to ensure this Roadmap captures the needs of young people and translates to meaningful real world change.
