Description

A parenting program to improve Aboriginal parent and child wellbeing. This project aims to develop and implement a culturally safe, trauma-informed parenting program that can interrupt the intergenerational transmission of trauma and help improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing, parenting, and parent-child relationships. There is a lack of parenting programs that address the issue, and the project will bring light to that. The expected outcomes are to encourage the connection to culture for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. This program can provide a positive shift in parenting, with significant implications in improving life outcomes for indigenous communities in Australia and internationally who also deal with the impact of intergenerational trauma..
