Description

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as individuals and within their families and communities, have been profoundly hurt socially, emotionally and spiritually by layers of historic, social and cultural (complex) trauma across generations. This workshop provides a space for having conversations that enable recovery and healing and the means for preventing further hurts.

This event will cover:

  • Learn practical ways of utilising strength-based approaches
  • Explore and deeper understandings of trauma from historical collective contexts and narratives around loss, grief, and shame.
  • Provide a taster for those considering Family Therapy training at The Bouverie Centre
  • Build practical skills around developing therapeutic healing relationships & explore culturally appropriate genograms
  • Provide awareness of the principles of cultural safety when working with families
