Course Description
Wholistic Healing Practices and Colonial Trauma Certificate, Module 5 "Indigenous Incarceration: Providing Trauma Informed Care" is developed and delivered by the Centre for Indigegogy.

We will discuss the experiences of Post-Traumatic Stress in relationship to the criminalization of Indigenous people and the trauma of incarceration.
