A PaSCE collaboration with the Yiriman Project

The PaSCE team is proud to offer this free educational video resource. The video is made for health professionals working with Aboriginal people, especially Aboriginal people originating from the West Kimberley region.

The ladies from the Yiriman Project wanted to be involved in this health professional resource and share their cultural beliefs and what was important to them around end-of-life care.

This resource is for educational purposes only. It may contain images, works and descriptions that could be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in public and community contexts.
