Replanting the Birthing Trees: Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families during the child’s first year

Emerging Minds and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), May 2024

The first year of life is a significant time for babies as they bond with parents, caregivers and other important people in their lives. The parent–child relationship is a key influence on a child’s social and emotional wellbeing, and parents want their children to thrive. However, sometimes environmental, family or personal circumstances can disrupt the parent’s ability to be the kind of parent that they want to be.

Based on a case study and informed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of ‘being, knowing and doing’, this webinar with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) will explore the practice skills required to effectively work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families during the child’s first year.

Learning outcomes:

  1. Discuss approaches to offer choice and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents during the child’s first year
  2. Develop strategies that enable collaboration across a range of clinical and non-clinical options to provide person-centered, flexible and tailored support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents.
