The high rates of incarceration and recidivism for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can be attributed to a range of historical, social, economic, and systemic factors and a lack of culturally appropriate programs. The Cultural, Social and Emotional Wellbeing (CSEWB) Program is a culturally appropriate program based on the Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) model, which is a strengths-based and holistic health framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This study reports the evaluation of the first delivery of the CSEWB Program within the justice system, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women at the Boronia Pre-Release Centre for Women.
