Join us in an evening of conversation around the centrality and resilience of maternal figures and the impacts of trauma and cultural memory upon caregiving.

With special guests:

• Dr Samah Jabr who will be joining us online from Palestine, Dr Samah is a Palestinian Psychiatrist, Author and Human Rights Advocate

• Louise O'Reilly a Warrwa - Noongar Aboriginal Woman, Inclusion and Diversity Coach

• Hiba Farra - Executive Member Of Australia Palestine Advocacy Network and Founding Member of Perth Mums For Palestine

• Claire Holloway - Perinatal Yoga facilitator & Matrescence Coach

Mothering During a Genocide will be a gathering of mothers and parents as well as perinatal practitioners who support people during pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenthood.

We wish to provide a forum where the voices and experiences of Palestinian mothers can be heard, and the impact upon their maternal mental health can be realised to foster advocacy and action in our communities.

We will also hear from an aboriginal Australian mother about the long term, intergenerational effects of genocide, particularly relevant to those living in the land that has been colonised as Australia.
