Reclaiming Indigenous Caring Practices to End Intergenerational Trauma and Addiction

In this course, Charity Fleming, social worker, faculty member, and certified Aboriginal business owner, begins with both a prayer (by an indigenous author) and a guided meditation oriented toward indigenous cultures. She follows that with numerous stark statistics illustrating the poor health and living outcomes which have resulted from years of intergenerational trauma wrought by colonisation. Fleming outlines tools and interventions she uses to encourage post-traumatic growth and resilience, including the Sacred Circle CBT model, genograms, and the Tree of Peace goal setting handout.
