Note: Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities prefer to define mental health as social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB). Respectfully, the program references both terms.

- Further peer Support Groups’ mental health/social and emotional wellbeing supports to their members
- Promote good mental health/social and emotional wellbeing
- Encourage peer Support Groups’ mission, governance, and sustainability
