The Impact of Intergenerational Trauma

Canadian residential schools is an incredibly dark chapter in our history. The oppression of Indigenous people has led to negative consequences across generations. The resulting impact of intergenerational trauma has negatively impacted Indigenous people's daily lives, including damage to families, unresolved thoughts and emotions about traumatic events, parenting challenges, alcohol and substance abuse, and mental health issues. Unfortunately, these negative consequences of residential schools are still being experienced today. This video is an introductory video in our Indigenous Mental Health series, as voiced by Jasmine Peterson, a Psychological Associate at Sullivan + Associates Clinical Psychology, and a woman of Indigenous descent. It explores some of the root causes of the pervasive mental health concerns in Indigenous populations and communities. Specifically, there is discussion about intergenerational trauma and the impacts of colonial contact and colonization on the First Peoples of Turtle Island. Many of the issues Indigenous people face today are a direct result of these early experiences – experiences that might not be their own but those of their ancestors.
