The article discusses aspects of mental health nursing in Australian Aboriginal remote communities. It tackles the critical role of mental health interviews in the provision of treatment and mental health services for Aboriginal clients due to linguistic barriers and limitations in communication process. Moreover, it mentions the significance of educating nurses on Aboriginal history to help them understand the psychological impact of social issues including inequality, loss, and racism.
