Reclaiming connections : understanding residential school trauma among Aboriginal people / prepared for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation by Deborah Chansonneuve.
Reclaiming Connections is based on a manual developed by the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health in Ottawa, Ontario, as a resource tool for frontline workers and educators. It has been adapted from this earlier version to suit the needs of a larger, national audience. By increasing awareness of the history and impacts of residential school abuse, it is hoped this manual will mobilize service providers and educators to work more closely together in support of a common vision for healing. This manual represents a collaborative effort shared by many people deeply committed to promoting recovery from the trauma of residential school abuse and its intergenerational impacts. Because of their unique position on the front lines of trauma recovery work, Aboriginal counsellors and helpers have an important role in transforming a painful past into hope for a new future. Their insights into the needs of people in pain, their compassion and practical good sense were instrumental in shaping both the content and format of this manual.
