This First Nations-led project aims to transform intergenerational cycles of trauma to support parents in achieving their hopes and dreams for a happy, safe and healthy family. This is a highly innovative, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led project being administered by the University of Melbourne with the support of a range of partner organisations (UCRH is one of many). The project focuses on transforming cycles of intergenerational trauma and harm to positively reinforce cycles of nurture and recovery, particularly in a baby’s first 2000 days. The project will address critical, documented gaps in perinatal care by building infrastructure for culturally safe, trauma-integrated, holistic, transdisciplinary perinatal care for Aboriginal families. In doing so, it will drive health system reform and establish a transformative shift in health policies and practice and help to ensure that all Aboriginal babies have the best possible start to life.
