Intergenerational Trauma Aware Geelong - in-TAG

Intergenerational Trauma Aware Geelong (in-TAG) is a movement that aims to reduce the significant health and community effects of trauma in our community. By working with a range of local organisations and community members, in-TAG aims to increase community understanding of trauma and the closely tied feeling of shame and neurodivergence (the differences in how people think and learn). It is through building this understanding that in-TAG hopes to promote more positive responses to trauma, both professionally and in everyday life. The movement draws inspiration from successful trauma-informed communities overseas and hopes to create a cultural shift that reduces the risk of trauma while improving community connection and well-being in Geelong.
