Healing the Past by Nurturing the Future: Traumaintegrated perinatal care to improve health outcomes for Indigenous parents and infants in a rural setting
Description: Indigenous communities are affected by complex trauma. The parenting transition is a critical lifecourse opportunity for ‘healing the past by nurturing the future’. This Indigenous-led demonstration study builds rigorous evidence for the rural healthcare setting. We aim to develop, implement and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, costs and preliminary effectiveness of providing trauma-integrated primary care for rural Indigenous parents experiencing complex trauma to improve wellbeing.
