Finally, there should be a focus on funding locally developed and Indigenous-led programs that promote community governance and self-determination. We also know that trauma can have a significant affect on the immune system and may contribute to the generational curse of autoimmune diseases and other chronic illnesses. Additionally, trauma-informed and healing-aware approaches are essential to program success in addressing intergenerational trauma. The review highlights that there is a strong policy framework to address Indigenous Australians’ social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB), but few that explicitly address the interaction between intergenerational trauma and SEWB.

The paper adopts an Indigenous Standpoints approach meaning that Indigenous research and voices are privileged within the report. A comprehensive review of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant literature. Intergenerational trauma is a discrete form of trauma which occurs when traumatic effects are passed across generations without exposure to the original event. This paper aims to define the link between intergenerational trauma and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ mental health and to identify current best-practice policies and programs to address this issue. Ongoing intergenerational trauma demands increased understanding of the effects of multigenerational disruption on healthy familial and cultural development (Tafoya and Del Vecchio 1996) in order for families to be appropriately supported. This prolonged and continuing exposure to trauma and risk factors places Indigenous Australians at a heightened risk of mental ill-health. The colonisation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the oppressive practices that followed has resulted in a legacy of unaddressed intergenerational trauma. Accelerated neurocognitive decline after general anesthesia/surgery, also known as perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), is a widely recognized public health problem that may affect millions of patients each year. Intergenerational trauma is a term that is often not talked about, resulting in a lasting impact on later generations. Where trauma is unacknowledged, it can result in the re-traumatisation of later generations. Intergenerational traumasometimes called transgenerational traumais a term that is used to describe the impact of a traumatic experience, not only on one generation, but on subsequent generations after the event. The link between exposure to trauma and increased risk of poor mental health is well established.
