In a new 2011 initiative Gunawirra and Aboriginal and non Aboriginal Mental Health workers from the Blacktown/ Mt. Druitt area are to meet for discussion every six weeks at their request.

Additional attendees are welcome, please contact Gunawirra.

Initial discussion topics include:

“Being Aboriginal and keeping our identity in Health. What can we contribute;

Being a non-Aboriginal health worker and being acceptable to Aboriginal community - Crossing the divide!”

How do we reconcile individual values and identity and be contributors to the person of each of the many cultures that enrich our community?”

This discussion group is created by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal health professionals to confront important issues, lessen the divide, and create respect.
