What We Do?

We are yarning with Aboriginal people who have had a stroke and with health services who provide services to people who have had a stroke to find out what works and what needs to be done better.

We are listening and working with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples who have had a stroke, their families, carers and health service providers to develop a stroke care approach that is culturally appropriate and meaningful in assisting with recovery following a stroke.

It adds to the growing evidence that yarning is a culturally responsive approach to achieve improved health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal people and communities in the context of living well and preventing chronic disease.

The communities on Gamilaraay/Gomeroi lands are leading and guiding the Yarning up After Stroke Team.
