This paper from the AIFS Closing the Gap Clearinghouse examines how childhood trauma experienced by Indigenous Australian children can be overcome with appropriate interventions. This paper focus is on services and care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, but the discussion of the need for trauma-informed services and trauma-specific care for children and the examples of promising programmes, may be useful to those working with other indigenous peoples.
