This workshop aims to build ‘awareness’ of the impacts of complex trauma on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and how to provide culturally and emotionally safe trauma-informed care. This interactive workshop will be co-facilitated by an Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal facilitator and use a ‘two-ways’ thinking framework, reflecting on both Aboriginal and western understandings.
