What I would like to see is our children, or my grandchildren, have a voice to become part of the solution to break the cycle of trauma.
Picture being taken from your family and community as a child. This is the reality for around 17,000 Stolen Generations survivors in Australia. Many face ongoing trauma, compounded by the lack of culturally relevant mental health services. But hope is on the horizon, thanks to Indigenous-led healing programs. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', you'll hear from Aunty Lorraine Peeters, a Stolen Generations survivor whose personal journey inspired the pioneering Maramali healing program.
Her story is part of a broader movement where Indigenous communities are developing solutions tailored to their unique cultural needs. Alongside Aunty Lorraine, Indigenous psychologist Kelleigh Ryan discusses the hurdles in providing culturally appropriate support and the importance of creating safe spaces for healing. This episode sheds light on the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities as they work to mend the wounds of the past and build a healthier future.
Tune in to understand how these programs are making a difference and why cultural safety is crucial in the healing process.
