Working with Traumatised Families: Maintaining Social and Emotional Wellbeing for Ourselves and Our Communities
This workshop explores First Nations ways of understanding relationships and healing processes unique to the cultural places of living and working. It aims to help learners begin to understand the types of trauma reactions in individuals and the ways these affect family relationships and connections and impact on the workers.

- Gain a systemic understanding of the nature and impacts of colonisation

Relevant Audience

The workshop leaders will guide you in connecting with yourself in the context of culture, and who your mob and country are. Importantly, they will guide you to include First Nations’ ways of making sense of pain and disconnection, and explore with you ways to heal while keeping culture and your own strengths and wisdom in mind.
