Just how bad are we in promoting good health to Indigenous youth. My mate Kishan Kariippanon who puts all his energy into what he does says it needs a serious rethink.
“Social media is becoming a source of information and a tool for communication for Indigenous youth because the social network functions like a typical Indigenous community. When promoting health through education, it is not about ‘teaching’ or ‘training’ young people but about developing the potential of young people to do it themselves. Social media and mobile technology is a tool that surpasses language, cultural and communication barriers.”
