Abstract: This presentation focuses on a Psychology Services project with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) staff, parents and carers to better understand views on the Circle of Security-Parenting (CoS-P) program and how it fits with ATSI child-rearing practices. 52% of children in care are from ATSI backgrounds. The impact of unresolved trauma and loss continues to impact on ATSI families and have resulting effects on parenting and attachment relationships for children and their caregivers. CoS-P is an attachment-based parenting program that has been recommended for consideration when working with ATSI families, but little is known about how ATSI parents and carers experience the Program. Psychology Services facilitated group or individual CoS-P program interventions with ATSI parents and carers. Specific qualitative interviews were developed in liaison with the Aboriginal Engagement and Collaboration Directorate. ATSI parents and carers who had completed CoS-P were interviewed about how suitable they thought the Program was for ATSI families and how well it fitted with ATSI parenting practices. Eight reflective cultural supervision sessions were facilitated to support the psychologists conducting the CoS-P interventions, and three ATSI CoS-P Working Group meetings were facilitated over a six month period. This presentation will explore the methodology and findings of this project, with emphasis on the feedback from ATSI parents and carers. The positive feedback from ATSI caregivers and staff suggests that it is worth considering engaging caregivers of ATSI children in care in CoS-P programs.
