Description
Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies by Renee Linklater explores healing and wellness in Indigenous communities. This book draws on a decolonizing approach to examine Indigenous notions of wellness, critiques of psychiatry, and approaches to helping people through trauma. Through stories and strategies grounded in Indigenous worldviews and cultural knowledge, Linklater offers practical methods for individuals and communities affected by trauma. A valuable resource for education and training programs, healthcare practitioners, healing centres, clinical services, and policy initiatives, Decolonizing Trauma Work is a unique contribution to the field of Indigenous health and wellness. By centreing the "soul wound" of colonialism, Linklater engages with key issues in Indigenous trauma work, providing purposeful guidance for those seeking to support individuals and communities.
