Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheelgriehl
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients. Each area of the medicine wheel needs to be balanced for wholistic health for the client, where the client is the person, family, group, or community. Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.
While the culture of poverty has usually been identified as a negative concept, we will reveal the true definition and its implications for child welfare. This workshop will focus on participants gaining the tools necessary to work with developmentally traumatized children and their families in a "culture of poverty."

Assumption 1: Counselors will not be able to sustain culturally responsive treatment without the organization's commitment to it.
Assumption 2: An understanding of race, ethnicity, and culture (including one's own) is necessary to appreciate the diversity of human dynamics and to treat all clients effectively
Assumption 3: Incorporating cultural competence into treatment improves therapeutic decision-making and offers alternate ways to define and plan a treatment program that is firmly directed toward progress and recovery
Assumption 4: Consideration of culture is important at all levels of operation—individual, programmatic, and organizational
Assumption 5: Culturally congruent interventions cannot be successfully applied when generated outside a community or without community participation.
Assumption 6: Public advocacy of culturally responsive practices can increase trust among the community, agency, and staff.

Ending the Cycle: Taking a Stand Against Domestic Violence.pdfWhalley Law
Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that affects individuals and families across the globe. It thrives in silence, behind closed doors, perpetuating a cycle of fear, pain, and trauma. However, by raising awareness, advocating for change, and providing support to survivors, we can collectively take a stand against domestic violence and work towards creating a safer and more compassionate society. This article aims to shed light on the importance of ending the cycle of domestic violence and offers insights into how individuals and communities can actively contribute to this vital cause.
Understanding Domestic Violence
Domestic violence encompasses a range of abusive behaviors that occur within intimate relationships, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. It affects people of all genders, ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The consequences of domestic violence are far-reaching, impacting the physical and mental health, well-being, and overall quality of life of survivors and their families.
Breaking the Silence
One of the most significant barriers in addressing domestic violence is the silence that shrouds it. Many survivors hesitate to come forward due to fear, shame, or a lack of resources and support. By breaking this silence, we can create an environment where survivors feel empowered to share their stories, seek help, and access the support they need. It is crucial to cultivate a culture of empathy, non-judgment, and active listening, so survivors feel safe and validated when disclosing their experiences.
Raising Awareness and Education
Raising awareness about domestic violence is key to creating societal change. Educational initiatives can help dispel myths and misconceptions, challenge victim-blaming attitudes, and promote healthy relationship dynamics based on respect, equality, and consent. Schools, workplaces, community organizations, and media platforms all play a vital role in providing accurate information, promoting prevention strategies, and offering resources to those affected by domestic violence.
Supporting Survivors
Supporting survivors is essential in their journey towards healing and rebuilding their lives. Here are some ways individuals and communities can provide support:
Empathy and Validation: Offer a listening ear and provide validation to survivors by believing their experiences and validating their feelings. Show empathy and compassion, emphasizing that the abuse is not their fault.
Safety Planning: Help survivors develop safety plans tailored to their specific circumstances. Safety plans involve identifying resources, creating escape routes, and establishing communication networks to ensure their safety during and after leaving an abusive relationship.
Referral to Support Services: Connect survivors with local domestic violence shelters, helplines, counseling services, and legal aid organizations that can provide specialized assistance and guidance.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. What are the meanings of Post-
Colonial Trauma and what to do?
Linking History to the Present
Linking Present Situations to the Future
Not being afraid to face:
– Fear
– Shame
– Guilt
Being vulnerable and a victim
Turning a victim of the past to a victor in the
future
Recognizing root causes, i.e. Residential Schools
4. Ever since Residential Schools were officially
sanctioned by the Government in the late 1850s
to when they officially closed in the lte 1970s
[though some would say it was the finished in
late 1980s in the Arctic]:
– children were taken from parents
– many were abused emotionally, physically or
sexually
– arguably all were spiritually damaged
– they‟re skills with relationships were compromised
5. Results:
Depression
Anxiety
Problems with parenting
Maladaptive coping:
– Substance Abuse
– Domestic Violence
– Suicide
– Loss of Traditions/Values/Language
– Accidents
– Incarceration
6. Trauma Subtypes
Cultural trauma is an attack on the fabric of a society, affecting the
essence of the community and its members
Historical trauma is the cumulative exposure of traumatic events
that affect an individual and continues to affect subsequent
generations
Intergenerational trauma occurs when trauma is not resolved,
subsequently internalized, and passed from one generation to the
next
Present trauma is what vulnerability Today‟s youth are experiencing
on a daily basis
7. Trauma Informed Principles
- “Trauma-informed” services are not specifically designed
to treat symptoms or syndromes related to sexual or
physical abuse or other trauma, but they are informed
about, and sensitive to, trauma-related issues present in
survivors.
- A “trauma-informed” system is one in which all
components of a given service system have been
reconsidered and evaluated in the light of a basic
understanding of the role that violence plays in the lives
of people seeking mental health and addictions services
(Harris & Fallot, 2001)
8. Trauma Informed Services
Understand what is meant by trauma
informed systems of care or practices;
Gain an understanding of cultural
practices that can direct treatment
considerations and;
Incorporate reconciliation / reunification
process (Balance and Harmony Concepts)
9. Trauma Informed Principles
Information:
– Normalize victim‟s and family‟s reactions to
severe stress or chaos created by the event(s)
– Provide information about emotional and
physical/behavioral reactions to stressful or
dangerous events
– Instill hope for victim and family recovery
– Educate family about the benefits and need
for talking or addressing event in a helpful
manner
10. Feeling the Impact of Trauma on:
– Feelings and emotions
– Physical and body responses
– Thinking and reasoning function
