Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education

You can’t ask that! Yes you can (Level 1) – Wellbeing and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course offers participants the opportunity to engage in meaningful and authentic dialogue, providing key information relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in order to build trust and break down barriers.  Examined and discussed are issues such as: Health considerations, statistics, the continuum of health and wellbeing standards, lifestyles and practices, identity and belonging, physical health and personal safety.  A key component includes advice on overcoming barriers e.g. lateral violence, access and shame, cultural appropriate approaches, engagement with families and carers, health behaviours & attitudes, relationships with peers (friends, particularly non-Aboriginal interactions & experiences of racism, othering etc), family (immediate, extended, influences upon behaviour and attitudes), culture (traditional/ contemporary) and school (study, teachers, structures). 

Facilitators will assist participants to realign values required for health, wellbeing and success and to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander values & contemporary values and vice versa - e.g. learning, commitment, dedication, code-switching, preparation and planning, long & short term goals, inter-dependence, team work

For those interested in deepening the journey, Level 2 is facilitated on 19th November.
