The Stolen Generations are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed as children from their families and communities through race-based policies set up by both State and Federal Governments from 1910 to the 1970s.

Intergenerational trauma

If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from past trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others. Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma.

Community Healing
Community Healing

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, healing is a holistic process, which addresses mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs and involves connections to culture, family and land. Healing works best when solutions are culturally strong, developed and driven at the local level, and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Dealing with misinformation and disinformation

Misinformation, disinformation and ‘fake news’ can cause anger, fear, mistrust or confusion. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, mis/disinformation can be targeted at us and increase during political or media commentary on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs. It is common on online platforms, such as social media, YouTube, Reddit and via TV, radio and newspapers.
