Nonetheless, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men are standing up and taking ownership of their roles and responsibilities, through establishing men’s groups, and being proactively engaged in improving the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities.

This presentation aims to acknowledge the good works of contemporary Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Islander male warriors/leaders. In addition, this presentation will provide as yet unrecorded evidence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men’s engagement in working constructively towards individuals, families and communities’ health and wellbeing including the prevention of family violence
