I think there have to be the resources there. If you're going on a healing journey, then you have to gather your medicines. Whatever those resources are, whether they're traditional or a mixture of some western psychology and some traditional healers, there has to be a safe place for it, as well.
You can't have people coming in and offering these weekend workshops to rescue your inner child, and let's all talk about our abuse, and then leave. That's often because there's so little money within communities. With $20,000 for mental health, what are we going to do with that? We can't hire a counsellor, so let's get one of these people with their road shows to come in and open us all up.
I would say that what you see that's transmitted intergenerationally are ways of coping that don't work very well. One of them is disassociating. Your mom went to residential school for 15 years, and she didn't learn to identify and express emotions in a good way. Well, your kids aren't going to either. You need to be able to break that, but you also need to do it in a safe place. There have to be enough resources for it, as well as the safety that it's not going to be discontinued when the government feels like discontinuing it. Ownership of it is needed.
I can't stress the safety enough. I think that's one of the things the Healing Foundation has tried to ensure: that the safety was there.
There are so many things I can say to answer your question, but I'm out of time.
