In Western Australia, the removal of mixed-descent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island children from parents into church-run institutions has caused ongoing damage to the social and emotional wellbeing of survivors and their descendants. Curtin University and Aboriginal organisations are attempting to utilise a number of defunct mission sites as Healing Centres for Stolen Generation survivors. But the rapid deterioration of missions and restricted access constrain use of the sites. Virtual reality offers a safe and accessible alternative to physical access. Layering this digital environment with knowledge and the lived experience of survivors and interweaving past and present experiences has the potential to provide a powerful platform for healing survivors and their families. A key aspect of this project was to ensure that a strength-based approach is used where Aboriginal people power share and collaborate in the projects ensuring that they have tangible control over their story and heritage.

西澳大利亚州原住民特派团的创伤和康复

在西澳大利亚州，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛混合血统的儿童从父母那里被带到教堂办事机构中，这继续损害着幸存者及其后代的社会和情感福祉。科廷大学和原住民组织正试图利用许多已解散的传教所作为失窃生还者的治疗中心。但是任务的迅速恶化和访问的限制限制了站点的使用。虚拟现实为物理访问提供了一种安全且可访问的替代方法。将数字环境与幸存者的知识和生活经验分层，并将过去和现在的经验交织在一起，有可能为治愈幸存者及其家人提供强大的平台。
