A new research project aims to bridge the aged care gap for Stolen Generations survivors and their families through truth-telling. Associate Professor Jenna Woods, Dean of the School of Indigenous Knowledges and Chief Investigator on the project said this research would be "grounded in truth, and centred on healing". "We are committed to ensuring our Elders receive the culturally grounded care they deserve," Associate Professor Woods said. "These resources will be shaped by the voices, priorities and lived experiences of Stolen Generations survivors." Collaboratively led by the School of Indigenous Knowledges and Murdoch University School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, in partnership with The Australian National University, Yokai Healing our Spirit and Juniper Aged Care's Uniting Church Homes, the project will work with community to co-design truth-telling packages for aged care providers. Supported by a $250,000 Australian Research Council (ARC) grant, the 'Truth Telling for Wellbeing in Stolen Generations Survivor Elder Care' project will address the 'gap within the gap' of health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal Elders. We are so proud to support the research team behind this incredibly impactful and powerful project: Associate Professor Woods, Dr Alison Atkinson-Phillips, Associate Professor Rosanne Kennedy, Ms Jennifer Kaeshagen and Dr Jim Morrison AOM.
