I Felt Brave’
Positive parenting and parent–child interaction are keys to children's early life experiences and developmental outcomes. Play to Connect is a short‐term parent–child programme, co‐developed and delivered in partnership with a remote Aboriginal community on the Tiwi Islands in Australia's Northern Territory. The programme focuses on enhancing the parent–child relationship and parental self‐efficacy. This study aimed to explore whether participant…
Patterns of Multisystem Involvement in Adolescence
Dual‐system young people who crossover between child protection and youth justice systems experience a range of health and educational issues. However, very little research has examined the health and education needs of these young people, especially in Indigenous populations. A retrospective cohort study was established using individual‐level linked records to examine the child protection, youth justice, health, and education (multisystem) invol…

Narratives and processes – Developing a responsive parent–child program to empower local facilitators in a remote Aboriginal community
This article presents the results of a retrospective study that critically examines the development of a responsive parent–child program from conceptualisation to pilot implementation. The development of the Play to Connect program was a continuation of research translation work of the Let’s Start parenting program which was delivered in remote Aboriginal communities across the Northern Territory, Australia from 2005–2016. The impetus for the Pla…
Parenting for Child Development
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a low-income country experiencing high rates of family violence and child maltreatment. Child protection services are under-developed, and few tertiary-trained social workers are employed by them. A research team was commissioned to develop a parenting programme for implementation in remote provinces. After development and co-design of the programme, a pre- and post-evaluation was conducted in 10 communities to test the …
School-Based Prevention in Very Remote Settings
Purpose. Skills for Life (SFL) is a social-emotional curriculum for Indigenous middle school students that was co-developed with educators and community members in a remote community of northern Australia. This preliminary study aimed to test the feasibility of processes and methods of data-gathering, the reliability of youth self-report measures and to identify the direction of effects for an evaluation of a longer-term pilot of the curriculum. …
Enhancing Social and Emotional Wellbeing of Aboriginal Boarding Students
Boarding schools can provide quality secondary education for Aboriginal students from remote Aboriginal Australian communities. However, transition into boarding school is commonly challenging for Aboriginal students as they need to negotiate unfamiliar cultural, social and learning environments whilst being separated from family and community support. Accordingly, it is critical for boarding schools to provide programs that enhance the social an…

At Home on the Waves
Working together in a good way
This article considers what successful working relationships between fly-in professionals and Aboriginal community workers involve. Interviews with six Aboriginal workers and the experience of the jointly delivered Let’s Start parent–child programme in remote north Australian Indigenous communities confirm the importance of developing positive relationships within a both-ways learning approach, drawing on each other’s strengths, and the significa…
Pragmatic financialisation
The Japanese Post Office, one of the world’s largest financial institutions, was finally privatised in 2015, marking an appropriate time to examine financialisation in Japan. The literature on financialisation and changes in Japanese capitalism assumes convergence on Anglo-American capitalism with a diminishing of state power. The main argument of this paper is that financialisation is instead a more contingent process. This is put forth through …
Continuity, Engagement and Integration
Over the last decade there has been at best limited implementation of preventive interventions for vulnerable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families in remote communities of northern Australia despite growing involvement in the child protection system. This paper describes challenges for services seeking to engage parents who are subject to child protection measures. Brief case studies from an early intervention program…
Adaptation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire for Remote Aboriginal Australia
A key challenge to providing quality developmental care in remote Aboriginal primary health care (PHC) centers has been the absence of culturally appropriate developmental screening instruments. This study focused on the cross-cultural adaptation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires, 3rd edition (ASQ-3), with careful attention to language and culture. We aimed to adapt the ASQ-3 for use with remote dwelling Australian Aboriginal children, and to…

The Life and Times of a Chambered Tomb
Clyde cairns are a distinctive form of early Neolithic burial monument found in western Scotland. However, there have been no detailed investigations of these sites for many decades. Knowledge of early Neolithic monumentality in this region remains limited and reliant on parallels with better-known sequences in southern Britain and in Ireland. New research questions have recently arisen which explore the date of the construction of megalithic sit…
Gender, Culture and Intervention
Evaluation of a group parenting programme in the Northern Territory of Australia showed significant differences in benefits for Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal boys and girls. The analysis considers whether boys and girls from different cultural backgrounds present with different problems; whether parental expectations for boys and girls differ and whether the intervention activates different responses in different settings. Conclusions suggest tha…
A Sea of Small Boats
In the last 20 years landscape archaeology in Britain has developed in many directions, providing increasingly sophisticated understandings of prehistoric people's sense of place. In contrast to the growing body of work considering landscape, little attention has been given to the sea. Some archaeologists have noted the significance of the sea to the settings of monuments, where the sea is interpreted as a symbolic or metaphorical backdrop to lif…
Context, Diversity and Engagement
This article describes challenges met implementing an early intervention programme for Aboriginal parents and their children in the NT (Northern Territory) of Australia in the context of efforts to remediate Aboriginal disadvantage. The intervention is an adaptation of an 8‐ to 10‐week, manualised parenting programme designed for four‐ to six‐year‐old children with behavioural difficulties. It was implemented for both Aboriginal and non‐Aborigina…

Skin infection, housing and social circumstances in children living in remote Indigenous communities
Background Poor housing conditions in remote Indigenous communities in Australia are a major underlying factor in poor child health, including high rates of skin infections. The aim of this study is to test approaches to data collection, analysis and feedback for a follow-up study of the impact of housing conditions on child health. Methods Participation was negotiated in three communities with community councils and individual participants. Data…

What to Make of Tiwi History

Families, Generations, and Self
The Tiwi, a society of former hunter-gatherers of North Australia, are known for their system of polygamy in which females were usually betrothed before birth while males did not marry until their late thirties. Today, the Tiwi are monogamous and youths negotiate sexual relations sometimes in defiance of their parents and elders, sometimes with their assent. Tiwi family patterns show informal continuities with tradition in the motives underlying …

Separation, Retaliation and Suicide
This paper describes some Tiwi conceptions of death, linking an important myth of the origins of death to an interpretation of the dynamics of Tiwi mourning. It argues that one part of the myth describes the psychological dangers of human responses to loss, in particular the dangers of destructive rage and self‐destructive withdrawal, suicide. The mourning ceremonies facilitate the overcoming of these dangers and the re‐integration of the individ…
Violence, Social Differentiation and the Self
The article considers aspects of violence in everyday life among the Tiwi of Melville and Bathurst Islands. It briefly compares the role of violence in bureaucratically and juridically mediated forms with self‐help and social regulation in Aboriginal societies, focussing on the expressive or performative aspects of violence in everyday interaction. Myers' discussion of violence among the Pintubi posits a dialectical polarity of relatedness and di…
