Course Details

This article discusses a psychoeducational tool designed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to address transgenerational trauma. The tool leverages traditional storytelling to align with the neuropsychotherapy model, aiming to create a safe, nurturing environment that meets basic needs such as pain avoidance, control, and attachment. This approach draws on theories like ADAPT and the five essential elements, focusing on community and cultural resilience. The tool promotes the healing process by reconnecting individuals with their cultural identity, thereby enhancing their sense of belonging and psychological well-being.
