Our Third Webinar of 2026
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming session with Maya Schenker!
🖌️ Topic: Relational Selfhood, Trauma, and the Limits of Individualised Psychology: Colonial Harm to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ways of Being
🗓️ When: Thurs July 9th at 4:00 PM AEDT

By the end of this webinar, attendees will have learned the following:
-
Understand Indigenous Australian understandings of selfhood as relational, locational, and ethical states of being, including the concepts of autonomous regard and relational obligation.
-
Critically reflect on how differing ontologies of selfhood influence the recognition, interpretation, and cultural responsiveness of trauma work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- Identify how assumptions of autonomous selfhood embedded in mainstream trauma frameworks conflict with Indigenous Australian relational understandings of knowing, being, doing and belonging.
