We delve into Shannon's professional journey from policing to psychology, emphasizing her dedication to cultural understanding and healing within Aboriginal communities. We explore the importance of deep listening, the multifaceted nature of compassion, and how historical and intergenerational trauma continues to affect Australia's First Nations people. Shannon shares invaluable insights on supporting Aboriginal people, the challenges they face, and how compassion can play a pivotal role in reconciliation and healing.
