TOGETHER

Food/body disconnection (eating disorder) doesn’t discriminate. You might be a saltwater or freshwater person. You might be from the city, the Islands or from the desert. This disconnection can affect anybody.

But TOGETHER with the right tools, the right people and understanding the underlying issues. Together we can build strength, wellbeing and confidence.

It’s about honouring First Nations ways of knowing, being, and doing. This is what research and evaluation look like for First Nations people. It represents wisdom gathered in one place, knowledge sharing and living well.

Research has not always been good for First Nations peoples. This story is about collective wisdom and cultural governance, shared with non-Indigenous people.
