Description

The Ways Remote Communities Care explores how the community of Mount Isa engages in healing and wellbeing through shared experiences and care practices. Partnering with local organisations, the project examines how community groups foster healthy and mentally well communities. We will map the work and linkages between existing community groups, successes and challenges, and collect stories of care work in the community. This will culminate in the community creating their Community Resilience Score. This interdisciplinary initiative aims to generate pilot data and narratives that inform future research and funding applications focused on trauma, precarity, and collective healing.
