Trauma- Informed Care and Practice: An Indigenous Approach to Developing Worker Skills


IPAT welcomes you to join us for a 2-day workshop designed for those wanting to work with First Nations people or diverse communities.

The content introduces the concept of 'Symptom as History' and provides tools to develop generational resilience in healing from trauma and systems transformation.

Developed by Emeritus Professor Judy Atkinson AO and Dr Caroline Atkinson PhD and facilitated by IPAT

The course unpacks the topics that are most commonly requested by therapists or those working in the Human Services field with Indigenous people who are living with trauma behaviours.
