Strong foundations

rebuilding social norms in indigenous communities
conference proceedings
Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership

This conference challenges the predominant view that the 'answer' to Indigenous disadvantage in Australia (particularly in remote communities) lies exclusively in improving service delivery. Better services are important but will only go so far in addressing entrenched socio-economic problems. What is needed in concert with better services, is a rebuilding of the social norms which form the foundation of a healthy society. Posted 25-07-2007
