The IUIH Network is currently developing a youth strategy.

The youth strategy, known as 'Yng Goori: Our future is strong' is being developed in partnership with young people, and will include key areas of focus for the next 10 years.

Our young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Southeast Queensland are supported through rites of passage and accessible, culturally and age-appropriate services and programs, to make choices that empower their future through culture and self- determination

Young Indigenous people in SEQ:

• Are resilient and connected to community and culture - they can walk in two worlds.
• Have positive experiences and relationships.
• Make healthy and safe choices.
• Experience healthy physical, social, and emotional growth.

Self-determination: young people are empowered and have agency in decision making.

Rites of passage: young people and their families are supported and guided at key points in their journey about obligations, responsibilities, and connection to self, family, community and culture through yarning, through rituals and through events and activities.

Family-centered and integrated care (relational care): young people are accessing care that is centered in and connected to family, community and services that support the wellbeing of the young person and their family.

Integrated services on a continuum of care: young people can access services along a continuum from prevention, early intervention to intensive supports and crisis care; and no-matter where on this continuum a person engages, services are integrated.

Engagement and evidence base: young people and community more broadly are engaged in the design, delivery and evaluation of service, and services are informed by local experience and a broad evidence base.
