Description: My social work career started in a regional/rural location now known to be an epicenter of historic institutional abuse in the Hunter Valley region, north of Sydney, Australia. Decades later, having studied and reported impacts of this abuse to the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2012–2017), I now work with young people who are both victims of intergenerational violence and perpetrators of violence and abuse in the Hunter Valley.1 This paper highlights and shares trauma-responsive experiential learning strategies used to bring this work to the classroom in my work as a social work academic at the University of Newcastle, in New South Wales, Australia.
