Dr Ingrid Huygens has recently completed a PhD in processes of Treaty-focused change in Aotearoa, and works nationally as a Pakeha Treaty educator and consultant. Her background is in social and community psychology. She is co-author of a chapter in Professional practice of psychology in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This workshop will bring participants up to date with the relationship between contemporary interpretations of Te Tiriti, our profession’s Code of Ethics, and current issues in psychological practice. By teasing out implications of the treaty articles and commonly cited principles, participants will feel clearer about their profession’s position in current debates, and confident about their commitments and limits in relation to the needs and aspirations of tangata whenua. Participants will be invited to consider a current query in their workplace, and to work with others to apply new understandings in these practice situations.

NOTE: This workshop is recommended as a forerunner to Bicultural Practice offered by Aroha Waipara-Panapa
