Do you work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families…do you want to gain deeper understanding, tools and strategies to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men?

 The impact of trauma on Aboriginal men can be profound, and can have significant implications for their attitudes, behaviour, and lifestyle choices. For Aboriginal men, trauma can be linked to a range of experiences and one of the key areas where the impact of trauma on Aboriginal men is particularly evident is in relation to domestic and family violence.

This workshop facilitated by Ivan Clark seeks to enhance your understanding of the impact of trauma on Aboriginal men and equip you with tools and knowledge to better support Aboriginal men who have experienced trauma and are struggling with issues such as domestic and family violence.

Learning Outcomes:

• Provide insight of the journey of Trauma for First Nations Men;
• Develop awareness of how Trauma affects attitude, behaviour and lifestyle choices of First Nation Men;
• Understand process of engagement with First Nation men that will assist healthier outcomes.
