We’ve made the Best Practice Ideas portal much easier to navigate. With one click you’ll get to your topic of interest.
WellMob’s new Best Practice Ideas page is your ‘go-to’ for resources that support health and wellbeing workers working with First Nations peoples. It’s filled with practical strategies and guides across a range of topics to help you be more effective and culturally responsive.
But … we had a problem …
The portal had grown to 77 resources on best practice that was becoming overwhelming to search. The new page makes it simpler and more intuitive to search for specific resources that support your professional development.
Our Solution: Six Key Topics, One Click Away
