Articles & speaks free at: www.vikkireynolds.ca This one-off event is aimed at supporting the needs of regional workers who may otherwise miss out on Vikki’s Australian 2023 Training Tour The ‘Trauma’ and Resistance approach centres on witnessing folks’ wise and creative acts of resistance. Justice-doing and a decolonising stance for the work is required to resist psychology’s neutrality and objectivity that often blames people for their own suffering from oppression. A witnessing approach requires that we situate personal suffering in its socio-political context and resist the individualisation and medicalisation of suffering as ‘trauma’ and other mental illnesses. This training will explore working with trauma & resistance with women and children impacted by domestic violence and the lived experiences of First Nations people in Australia. This workshop will also address: • A decolonising and justice-doing ethical stance • Resisting individualisation, objectivity and neutrality of trauma industry • Witnessing stance informed by direct action activism • Understandings of acts of resistance • Stories from practice
