Abstract

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples trauma social work education Indigenous cultural safety
Teaching Aboriginal content in social work education presents risks of retraumatisation for students. There are international calls for a trauma-informed teaching model that creates cultural safety in the classroom. This study aimed to develop a trauma-informed model for social work education by reviewing the literature on cultural safety for Aboriginal peoples. This model incorporates key aspects of ensuring Aboriginal cultural safety: de-colonise social work education; collaborative partnerships; build relationships; critical reflection; develop cultural courage; and yarning and storytelling. It provides a valuable framework for creating a more equitable teaching and learning environment that also ensures the essential academic content is covered.
