Understanding Mental Health and Wellbeing among Aboriginal Post-Secondary Students

This study aimed to understand mental health from an Aboriginal worldview as
well as Aboriginal post-secondary students’ preferences for receiving mental health information in order to effectively translate culturally appropriate mental health information to Aboriginal students. Using primarily qualitative methods, the study sought to develop, implement and evaluate a knowledge translation strategy for Aboriginal post-secondary students to increase their mental health knowledge and coping resources, which in turn, could aid in their successful completion of postsecondary education and improve their ability to move their communities forward.
