Keynote Speakers

chandlerMichael J. Chandler, PhD
Professor Emeritus
The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

Professor Chandler is a developmental psychologist, Professor Emeritus, and Distinguished CIHR and MSFHR Investigator working in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. His research interests include socio-cognitive development, young people’s developing ‘theories-of-mind’ and the cross-cultural study of the process of identity formation. His ongoing program of research explores the role that culture plays in setting the course of identity development by shaping young people’s emerging sense of ownership of their personal and cultural past, and their commitment to their own and their community’s future wellbeing. He is deeply involved in the study of Canada’s Aboriginal youth, and how their struggles to achieve a sense of coherent personal and cultural identity impact on a range of health outcomes and other measures of socio-emotional wellbeing. In particular, he has studied the phenomena of youth suicide as it manifests itself in Canada’s First Nations youth, and (internationally) among other Indigenous groups.

In a long series of published research findings (e.g., Chandler & Lalonde, 1998; Chandler & Lalonde, 2008) his work has made it clear that: young persons who lose a sense of their own personal and cultural continuity are at special risk to suicide, and a host of other negative outcomes; and b) that whole communities (especially Aboriginal communities that have suffered a loss of connectedness to their cultural past and civic control over their future) are especially vulnerable to a long list of negative social outcomes, including high suicide, accident, and school drop-out rates. Altogether, this collection of findings help to demonstrate that achieving a sense of both personal and cultural persistence in time is key to Indigenous peoples’ future health and wellbeing.

These efforts, along with more than 150 published books, articles and book chapters, have earned Dr. Chandler the Killam Memorial Senior Research Prize, the Killam Teaching Prize, and resulted in his twice being appointed a Peter Wall Institute Distinguished Scholar in Residence. His research and scholarly efforts have also led to his being named Canada’s only Distinguished Investigator of both the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, and resulted in his being chosen as a member of the Advisory Board of CIHR’s Institute of Aboriginal Health. Dr. Chandler’s research with children at risk began more than 35 years ago with an article (co-authored with A. Sameroff) that was selected by the Society for Research in Child Development for inclusion in a book entitled Twenty Studies That Revolutionized Child Psychology. Professor Chandler’s program of research dealing with identity development and suicide in Aboriginal communities was singled out for publication as a book and as an invited Monograph of the Society for Research in Child Development, and is the only program of Canadian research featured in WHO’s recently released report on the social determinants of health.

Kathy Mokaraka
Administration and Healing Advisor
Sister Kate’s Home Kids Foundation

Kathy is a Nyoongar Yok (Aboriginal woman from the South West of Western Australia) belonging to the Yued, Ballardong, Wagyl Kaip & Southern Noongar and Wadjuk Groups.

Kathy started her career in trauma and healing in the remote areas of Western Australia’s Kimberley region over 20 years ago. She has dedicated her entire working life to this area, working within an Aboriginal term of reference which acknowledges the ‘trauma’ of Aboriginal people in Australia, stemming from the devastating impact of colonisation. The damage still reverberates today with high levels of incarceration, grinding poverty, addictions and violence, loss of family through the Stolen Generations era, disruption to culture and lands, low education and employment and most importantly approximately 20 years less life expectancy to non-Aboriginal people, known as ‘The Gap’.

She has worked in specific areas for her people in child sexual abuse/assault, suicide, critical incidence, women in prison, mental health and trauma.

She holds a Masters in Indigenous Therapies (Southern Cross University, Australia) and a Master’s Certificate in Global Mental Health Trauma and Recovery (Harvard University and Ministry of Italy).

She has received Alumnus of the Year – Gnibi College Southern Cross University (2011) and Outstanding Alumnus of the Year Southern Cross University (2011). Recently Kathy was nominated for 20 year Outstanding Alumnus Southern Cross University (2014) and was a finalist.

Currently Kathy works for the Secretariat of the Sister Kate’s Home Kids Foundation and is inspired by the Sister Kate’s goal of building a Healing Centre for ex-Homies, their descendants and other Stolen Generations.

Although she humbly acknowledges her professional achievements, she believes her greatest achievement has been raising 3 children to become strong and independent people. She also has 6 grandchildren who are her source of ‘joy’ and ‘strength’, and hopes that within her own family, the trans/inter-generational cycle of trauma has been broken.

 

Healing – Intergenerational Trauma Masterclass – Shadow on a Life: Between Two Worlds

One of the big questions posed today by our collective Aboriginal Elders is: “How do we shed light on the lives of our people so they feel a sense of hope and can look forward to a more positive future, especially for our children and youth and those of the Stolen Generations.”

The impact of the 1905 Aborigines Act, the Assimilation Policies, disconnection from families, culture and country, and all that represents Colonial Oppression (Acculturation) has played a major role in the inter-generational trauma experienced by all Aboriginal people in the past as well as the present. The workshop will look at the nature of intergenerational trauma and finding a way forward that enables healing to occur at a deeper level for Aboriginal families. We will look at how healing is a catalyst to empowerment, self-determination and cultural social and emotional wellbeing.

 

Master Class Workshop participants will be offered an opportunity to hear what the Sister Kate’s Home Kids Foundation Trust and the Sister Kate’s Home Kids themselves as Stolen Generation survivors are collectively doing for their own healing and the healing of their families – as well as working in Joint Partnership to build a Healing Centre of Excellence that will provide a wide range of healing and empowerment initiatives at the local, regional, national and international level.

The workshop will also consist of sharing across boarders within professional areas of service provision and an opportunity to workshop individual and collective ideas that are based within cultural, social, environmental and human rights support advocacies.

Participants will work in groups to discuss innovative and creative ways of addressing current programs and on conclusion of the class, will present their findings.
