Show Notes

In this episode, we are joined by Danielle Abbott from The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI). Dani has worked with TACSI for 10 years, exploring innovative ways of working with tough and complex issues. She is the Quality Implementation Lead for Family by Family and the Virtual Village programs, which have been codesigned with families for families. These programs combine the lived experiences of families with proven social theory and evidence-based practice to create confidence, self-agency and resilience for participants. Families that have been involved attest to the programs’ helpfulness in shifting the negative effects of intergenerational disadvantage.   Dani describes the issues that families with experiences of intergenerational disadvantage face and the impacts it has on children’s mental health and wellbeing and on parents and parenting. She discusses the type of deeply human and compassionate therapeutic relationship that will support practitioners to truly walk alongside families and help effect deep and long-term change. Dani also shares some of the key things that are helpful for practitioners to know about in supporting families to ‘chip away’ at cycles of intergenerational disadvantage, based on her many years of experience.  Though it deals with a difficult issue, this episode is inspirational and optimistic, providing real-life examples of families experiencing intergenerational disadvantage and some of the significant changes they have made.    In this episode you will learn:   Further information and resources:  Intergenerational Mental Health e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/intergenerational-mental-health  The impact of trauma on the child e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/the-impact-of-trauma-on-the-child  Supporting infants and toddlers e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/supporting-infants-and-toddlers  The impact of parental substance use on the child e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/the-impact-of-parental-substance-use-on-the-child  Parental substance use and child-aware practice e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/parental-substance-use-and-child-aware-practice  The impact of family and domestic violence on the child e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/the-impact-of-family-and-domestic-violence-on-the-child  Family and domestic violence and child-aware practice e-learning course https://learning.emergingminds.com.au/course/family-and-domestic-violence-and-child-aware-practice-1  Engaging with parents when there are child protection concerns: Key considerations https://emergingminds.frmdv.com/resources/engaging-with-parents-when-there-are-child-protection-concerns-key-considerations/?_gl=1*je1wkz*_ga*MTcxOTM1ODczMy4xNTcyMzk3MTU1*_ga_Y4RHXYLTXV*MTYxNzA3MTk0MS4xMC4xLjE2MTcwNzIxNzMuNjA.&_ga=2.2030961.1930085463.1617001705-1719358733.1572397155  Working with mothers affected by substance use: Keeping children in mind https://emergingminds.frmdv.com/resources/working-with-mothers-affected-by-substance-use-keeping-children-in-mind/?_gl=1*je1wkz*_ga*MTcxOTM1ODczMy4xNTcyMzk3MTU1*_ga_Y4RHXYLTXV*MTYxNzA3MTk0MS4xMC4xLjE2MTcwNzIxNzMuNjA.&_ga=2.2030961.1930085463.1617001705-1719358733.1572397155
