The page contains a 6-minute video of the third part of a talk about healing intergenerational trauma by Joe Solanto from Canada.
There is a section entitled 'Reducing suicide by connecting to culture', which highlights the research of Michael Chandler and Christopher Lalonde conducted in over 200 Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada. This research is so important. I provide links to two papers by these researchers, as well as two films clips, one short (summary of main findings) and one long (presentation by Michael Chandler in Australia).
"They observed that whilst some indigenous communities had suicide rates nearly 800 times the national average, others had no suicides at all. They also found a strong correlation between ‘cultural continuity’ factors and the incidence of suicide. Indigenous communities that have control over local institutions and are grounded in a collective sense of history and culture have the low rates of suicide or no suicides at all."
