[Viva] Aboriginal Group: 10 Week Trauma Group: Pathways to the Present - Transforming Trauma

[Denise Becker]

I like the idea very much too. There is a great area of study called Post
Traumatic Growth and the problems that be encountered for people who are
stigmatized or unable to tell their stories.  I want to do a simple panel
discussion on it at the Gathering this year but see it as a future World
AIDS Conference discussion.

What do you think?
