The Hope & Healing Framework is underpinned by several common practice principles of Trauma Informed Care. One principle is that care is culturally safe and culturally proficient. Another principle is that care supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural identity. In alignment with this the Hope & Healing Framework outlines the components of a needs informed approach which emphasises the importance of cultural safety, cultural connections and cultural wellbeing.
These components are relevant to young people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and for young people who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, however in this episode we are focusing specifically on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young peopler for two reasons. First, these children and young people are over represented in the child protection system and secondly because these young people have been uniquely impacted by historical child protection policies that have created intergenerational trauma, which further compounds their care experience. Therefore, as a system it is imperative that we do better.
In this episode you will be hearing from two young people Mark and Bob, as well as experienced residential care worker Tony & Peter. Finally, we have included Dion Tatow from QATSICPP and Lisa Hillan from the Expert Advisory Group. We hope that their stories and ideas will bring to life this important element of Hope and Healing.

Episode 8: Therapeutic Focus of Care - Positive Identity
Positive identity is vital for sustained well being of a young person. It is related to a young person’s sense of self – or a sense of knowing “who they are” - and feelings of self worth – that is that that they are worthy in the eyes of others. For young people in residential care, their past need to focus on survival often means that these areas are under developed. Young people may have an uncertain sense of identity, and in particular their cultural identity, if there has been a loss of and disruption to connections with family and community.
You will be hearing from one young person with an experience of living in care - Mark, as well as an experienced residential care staff Peter. You will also be hearing again from Howard Bath and Lisa Hillan, who were part of the Expert Advisory Group for the Hope and Healing Framework. Finally we will hear from trauma and development expert Dr Russell Pratt and international expert Kevin Creeden.
We hope that their stories and ideas will bring to life this important element of Hope and Healing.
