Abstract

[Extract] Government and public debate has focused on the problems with small remote outback communities, and what seems like a lack of sustainability and vitality. Few people ask community members how they see sustainable living and what solutions they might develop if empowered to do so.

To this end, an empowerment program has been run in Alice Springs for many years: the Family Wellbeing Program This provides Aboriginal people with key directions toward social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing that in turn enable them to rebuild their lives, social strength and stability – all essential foundations to a sustainable community.
