You know, if you're a young person, say a lot of the residential school survivors, their experience in the mission and residential school is that they feel undervalued, they feel not good enough, they feel less than, and that is a direct result from trauma.
Imagine growing up in Uranium City, Saskatchewan, and navigating the harrowing experience of residential school. In this compelling episode of 'Empathetic Witness', host Angelina Pratt opens up about her own childhood and the path she took towards healing and advocacy.
Interviewed by her husband Alan Pratt, a lawyer for First Nations, Angelina shares raw and honest reflections on her time in residential school, the divisions between juniors and seniors, and the profound impact these institutions have had on First Nations communities. The conversation goes beyond personal anecdotes, delving into broader issues like the recent discovery of unmarked graves at a former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia.
Angelina emphasizes the importance of recognizing trauma as a root cause of addiction and advocates for harm reduction approaches in addiction treatment. Her resilience and positive outlook offer a beacon of hope for those who have experienced similar traumas. Whether you're interested in understanding the historical and ongoing impacts of residential schools or seeking inspiration from someone who has turned personal pain into a mission for wellness and reconciliation, this episode is a must-listen.
Angelina's story is not just about survival; it's about transforming adversity into a force for change and healing.
