Do you have experience working with Indigenous people? Opengate Institute will be involved in talks with We Al-li provider of Culturally Informed Trauma Integrated Healing Approaches (CITIHA) for individuals, families, communities and organisations.
Dr Carlie Atkinson and David Ryan want to hear stories of the different ways of using the sand working in these areas. Many of you are experts in the field and I would welcome you to join this meeting to tell your story of how you integrated this method into practice for a socio-cultural model of health which skills and empowers workers for personal and community developmental approaches for individual and group wellbeing.

The meeting will take place on Monday 3rd August at a time to be decided. I will send more details to those interested.
