Aboriginal Lessons in Pride, Jealousy and Emotional Regulation
This program introduces students to emotions such as pride, jealousy, and self-control through Aboriginal storytelling and cultural knowledge. Educators guide students through the story of why the emu cannot fly, using reflection and guided activities to explore behaviour, choices, and the impact of emotions on relationships.

On behalf of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child sexual abuse, Donna spent several years interviewing Aboriginal abuse victims in indigenous communities. As a trauma counsellor and community liaison, Donna supported many clients through this difficult process.
Donna has been teaching the latest counselling techniques to clients such as Gestalt Therapy Australia’s upcoming year three students, University Queensland Psychology students, and many more, bringing a modern approach to counselling that reduces stress and anxiety within clients.
Donna is a Wailwan/Wiradjuri woman from outback NSW. Donna is from the stolen generation, and she wanted to create training resources to educate mainstream Australians (without blame, guilt, or anger) about Aboriginal people and to bring Indigenous wisdom to the counselling field.
