Now available from the National Collaborating Centre for
Aboriginal Health (NCCAH) - webinar resources from "What's new is
really old: Trauma informed health practices through an understanding of
historic trauma", delivered by Drs. Dr. Patricia Makokis and Margo
Greenwood.
Webinar Description:
Trauma informed health practices are the latest buzz words
in the health field. The new is really the old. Teachings of the Elders and the
practicing of these teachings have been the saving graces for many Indigenous
Nations, amidst the adversity of historic trauma and the resultant complexities of grief and loss and
lateral violence.
In this time of reconciliation, many Nations are slowly
coming to terms (and actually starting to speak of historic trauma). These
topics are not only complex, but at a community level, they've contributed to
significant pain mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.
This webinar was presented by Dr. Patricia Makokis, of the University of Alberta, Faculty of
Extension, and Dr. Margo Greenwood, of Northern Health and the National Collaborating Centre for
Aboriginal Health (NCCAH). Dr. Makokis
spoke from a community-based perspective, while Dr. Greenwood spoke to her work
within the regional provincial health authority and the NCCAH. Both have worked
in the field of community-based health for a number of years.
Webinar Goals:
- Provide participants
with a brief overview of pre-contact values and laws;
- Explore the complexities
of historic trauma and lateral violence within communities; and
- Review current trauma
informed health practices.
