Indigenous Person-Centred Mental Health Well-being
This is a comparative study that explores Indigenous communities, rural poverty, and mental health and well-being in Australia and Canada. It draws upon a person-centred approach as described by Carl Rogers' humanistic psychology framework. Hence, the role of women within these communities and their strength in support of the well-being of their families is also examined. Themes that emerge within a humanistic theoretical framework will be highlighted. Examination of current data is provided and existing research findings are compared where relevant to indigenous populations.
