Podcast | Rooted in Who We Are – Supporting Healing in Indigenous Communities  

• Dr. Nicole Ineese-Nash shares her insights on supporting the well-being and resilience of Indigenous children and youth exposed to violence through connections to the land, culture, and community. Nicole discusses the impacts of colonial trauma on Indigenous children and youth, particularly in relation to experiences of intimate partner violence in the home and the disruption of family structures. She highlights how Indigenous communities must navigate healing from colonial trauma in the context of increased social awareness of the harms and pain they have experienced. Nicole shares the importance of supporting Indigenous children and youth to find a sense of rootedness in who they are and creating safe and trauma-informed spaces that can connect them to their lands, territories, communities, nations, and clans.
