Strong and Deadly:
Strong and Deadly explores several community-based initiatives that are proving effective in addressing disadvantage, and are having significant impact on the health and well-being of Indigenous young people. Featured case studies include a football-based program Kununurra District High School, WA; a young women’s group Sisters through Danila Dilba Youth Services in Palmerston, NT; and Tirkandi Inaburra, a culturally-based residential program for Indigenous boys aged 12-15 near Coleambally, NSW.
