This is the first part of a two-part series where we are joined by Emeritus Professor Judy Atkinson and Dr. Caroline (Carlie) Atkinson, CEO of ‘We Al-li’, two extraordinary women who have dedicated their lives to the healing of trauma for First Nations children, families and communities. Judy and Carlie share stories of practice through a culturally informed trauma-integrated healing framework which can assist practitioners in their building of relationships and support with First Nations families and children in healing.
