Reconnecting through roots: Exploring the role of diaspora tourism in mental health literacy among Indonesian migrants in North Queensland, Australia
Margaret Roderick Centre for Mental Health Research
Role
Chief Investigator
Description
This project investigates how reconnecting with cultural roots through diaspora tourism can improve mental health literacy (MHL) and emotional wellbeing among Indonesian migrants in North Queensland, Australia. By examining the lived experiences of migrants who return to Indonesia, the study aims to identify how cultural reconnection supports mental health understanding, reduces stigma, and promotes help-seeking behaviours. Insights will be translated into culturally responsive tools and recommendations for multicultural health services.
