Coffee & KT: Challenging the Status Quo: research to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families

Coffee & KT webinars are knowledge translation (KT) events aiming to share Lowitja Institute funded research outcomes, support collaborative discussion and generate ideas for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

On 7 March 2019 we held a Coffee & KT webinar  discussing the theme: Challenging the Status Quo: research to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families.

This discussion challenged dominant narratives around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander gender roles and relationships to better support the provision of culturally-safe trauma-informed care. Presentations showcased these Lowitja Institute funded projects:

• Reclaiming strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identities through a gender equity lens
  A/Prof Alice Rumbold (University of Adelaide) Miss Courtney Hammond (University of Adelaide)
• First response: Integrating trauma-informed care within primary healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experiencing violence
  Dr Patricia Cullen (The George Institute for Global Health, UNSW; School of Public Health and Community Medicine, UNSW) Dr Tamara Mackean (The George Institute for Global Health, UNSW; Southgate Institute for Health, Society and Equity, Flinders University) Dr Marlene Longbottom (Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong)
