Keeping strong in mind, body and spirit
Yan-Coorara (walk tall in the local Yugambeh language) is a program supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to keep their social and emotional wellbeing strong.
Yan-Coorara staff work alongside treating teams providing advocacy and culturally capable care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons with a social and emotional wellbeing issue.
Are you or a loved one:
- feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day challenges
- feeling down a lot of the time
- feeling nervous, anxious or stressed
- struggling to cope with grief, loss, or trauma
- trouble dealing with pressures of family, work, or relationships
- notice a change in appetite or sleep patterns.
Yan-Coorara can help by:

- helping you to recognise and respond to social and emotional wellbeing issues
- providing information about local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services and programs including Mental Health First Aid and Talking About Suicide workshops.
