Cultural Genocide: Family & the Intergenerational factor
Cultural Genocide through intergenerational transmission of trauma has robbed Indigenous families of cultural values and cultural identity. It is the cause of many complex social problems to which there is no easy solu-tion. Social challenges such as addictions, violence, aggression, political posturing, family feuds are symptoms of survival defenses to cultural geno-cide. These coping mechanisms can only be reframed through the applica-tion of a trauma informed practice. This session will provide a space for the guest to gain greater awareness of:
-
Informed trauma practice;
-
Intergenerational trauma and making sense of the transmission of wounding behaviors;
-
Identifying the range and impact of internalized oppression and explor-ing strategies to overcome negative patterns; &
-
Understanding attachment and our development process in reaching our maximum potential.
