The importance of self-determination for the health, wellbeing and future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people was highlighted recently during a week-long X/Twitter festival, with the theme #VoiceForHealth.
A series of guest tweeters for Croakey’s rotated X/Twitter account @WePublicHealth also highlighted the importance of social and emotional wellbeing, respectful dialogue, and the need to challenge misinformation. See a selection of their tweets below, and warm thanks to all who contributed.
