Live Workshop | Indigenous Birthing: Trauma & Resilience

​Live Workshop | Indigenous Birthing: Trauma & Resilience

June 6, 2020 | ​11am-12pm PST/ 2pm-3pm EST
1hr Online Workshop 

Description: 
Taught from an Anishinaabe Ojibwe perspective, this presentation will introduce the themes of historical trauma, historical resilience, and cultural humility. Learn what historical events have created lasting trauma among Indigenous North American communities and how this impacts birth, postpartum, and parenting practices through illustrative case studies and discussion prompts. Learn how Indigenous communities are revitalizing cultural practices to build resilience and what traditional practices and items you may witness in your practice working with families. This is for anyone who is committed to serving Indigenous families with integrity by using their birth work practice to help heal the soul wounds inflicted upon Indigenous North Americans. 

*Open to people of all backgrounds, especially birth workers who serve Indigenous/ Native American/First Nations families.
