Description

In this week's episode of The Playful Psychologist, I am joined by Natasha Janif and Karina Crutch to explore the serious mental health concerns facing indigenous youth today. Both Natasha and Karina have a wealth of both personal and professional experience on this topic and have generously offered their time and expertise to explore this complex topic with us.
 
Natasha is an Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Outreach Worker and Karina is an Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing Programs Officer. In this episode, we explore:

• The difficulties that Indigenous youth experience today
• Intergenerational trauma and the impact of the invasion and the stolen generation on indigenous people today
• Cultural considerations  people should be mindful of when working with indigenous youth

At the end of the episode, Karina provided the names of online resources and courses that people could explore to upskill on this topic. These can be found below:
