Intergenerational Trauma Animation
If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others through their behaviour. Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma. This can create developmental issues for children, who are particularly susceptible to distress at a young age. This creates a cycle of trauma, where the impact is passed from one generation to the next. In Australia, Intergenerational Trauma predominantly affects the children, grandchildren and future generations of the Stolen Generations. Stolen Generations members might also pass on the impacts of institutionalisation, finding it difficult to know how to nurture their children because they were denied the opportunity to be nurtured themselves. For more resources on Intergenerational Trauma head to our website: Find out about the impacts of Intergenerational Trauma by reading the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reports: http://bit.ly/2KfjkaK Learn about OUR FUTURE webinar: http://bit.ly/2KhEDZy Learn about the Murri School: http://bit.ly/2ODrjmh#OurFuture

Don’t Make Smokes Your Story – National Tobacco Campaign – Charles’ Story
Don’t Make Smokes Your Story is a campaign to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to quit smoking. Charles quit because he didn’t want to die from smokes. This is his story. “Smoking is not part of our culture. It’s become a part of a destructive culture that we’ve latched onto, and we’ve made it become the story of what it’s like to be not only Indigenous, but what it’s like to be a man, to be somebody accepted in our community,” Charles says. “We have a chance now today to start a whole new different story on how we make our life become a better place, for not only for ourselves but for our children, and for the whole of community, but especially for yourself as a person.” australia.gov.au/quitnow
