The Australasian Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and Phoenix Australia respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land in which we meet, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present.
We recognise and honour the strength and courage of those with lived and living experience of trauma and mental ill health, and feel privileged to be working alongside and for those individuals, their carers and kin.
