Self-directed online training
Event description
This course is designed to break down dominant stereotypes and help you better understand the critical role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers have in supporting children to grow up healthy, strong and thriving. By listening to and gathering stories of First Nations men, you create opportunities to share the rich narratives of their strengths and resilience. Learning about the valuable knowledge of the dads featured in 'Rebuilding our shields' and the hopes that they have for their children will develop your understanding and connection points when supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers.This session will cover:
- Dispel myths and the narrative of deficit discourse regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers.
- Provide practitioners with strategies and knowledge to support their engagements with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
The 43-minute documentary in this course will provide an opportunity for practitioners to hear first-hand from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers so that they may best consider fathers’ hopes in their family engagements. This starts with acknowledging and valuing the vital role that First Nations men hold in the healthy development of their children and families.
