Validating a Measure of Vicarious Trauma as Experienced by Foster Carers
Burnout, stress and fatigue are known contributors to foster placement breakdown, yet little is known about the prevalence and experience of vicarious trauma specifically among foster carers. This paper sought to develop and validate a measure of vicarious trauma among foster carers. In Study 1, we conducted qualitative interviews ( n = 28) and utilized a Delphi panel to develop 38 measure items. In Study 2, participants completed the new Vicario…
Experiences of parental regret among Australian foster parents
To date, research on parental regret has focused exclusively on parental regret among those who have given birth or whose partners have given birth. While in the context of foster parenting attrition has been a consistent focus in research, regret that does not necessarily lead to attrition has less often been a focus. The present paper reports on a study that explored experiences of parental regret among a sample of Australian foster parents who…
But isn’t that normal?’
While growing attention has been paid to the abuse of parents by their children, research to date has almost exclusively focused on parents who have birthed and/or conceived their child. Given that the trauma histories that foster children bring with them may result in abusive behaviours, it is vital to focus on the specific experiences of foster parents with regard to parental abuse. The research reported in this article involved interviews with…

Allegations of abuse in care
While it is vital that children are protected from abuse when placed in foster care, foster carers may also be subject to abuse allegations that are unfounded or unsubstantiated. Such allegations can have a significant impact on their wellbeing. Reporting on interviews with 28 foster carers, this paper explores how South Australian foster carers experience the care concern process. The care concern process is initiated when an allegation of abuse…
Healing from intergenerational trauma
Addressing intergenerational trauma caused through the impacts of colonization requires healing processes that are specific to the experiences and needs of First Nations peoples. This paper details an evaluation of two Aboriginal healing camps held in South Australia in 2021 and 2022. The camps focused on supporting members of the Stolen Generations, through a combination of First Nations and western healing practices. This paper details the fram…
What are you doing to me?”
Too often when we think about agency, we think only about human actors.Increasingly, studies of animalhuman relationships have explored the agency of animals who live alongside humans.This paper explores the agency of animals during interviews with trans young people and their families.A focus on the agency of animals is important in this context, given the unique meanings often attributed to animals by trans young people, who often experience th…
“There’s Something to Remind You that Everything Is Okay”
While animals have long been a focus in therapeutic spaces for young people via approaches such as animal-assisted therapies, there is a sense in which such approaches overlook the broader contribution that animals play by being present in young people’s lives. In this article, we explore how the presence of animals (both physical and psychological) in interactions with healthcare professionals may hold specific meaning for trans young people liv…
Built pedagogy and educational citizenship in an Australian alternative learning environment
The impact of built pedagogy has received increased focus within educational research, however to date there has not been a sustained focus on alternative learning environments. The research reported in this paper explored the experiences of young people enroled in a Flexible Learning Options (FLO) programme in South Australia. Interviews with 30 young people were undertaken both at the beginning and end of the school year in 2021, and ethnograph…
The Role of Animals in Buffering Against Cisgenderism in and Beyond Family Contexts for Trans Young People Living in Australia
Purpose The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to explore the role of animals in buffering against cisgenderist violence experienced by trans young people. Method Interviews were conducted with 17 Australian trans young people and one of their parents who spoke with us about their relationships with their animals living in the home, including in terms of animals providing a protective function against the negative effects of cisgende…
Attitudes Towards Parents of Trans Children and Their Rights
Introduction Trans children and their parents face challenges in both their private and public lives. In terms of the latter, public attitudes toward trans children and their parents can significantly impact experiences of inclusion or exclusion, including in terms of rights. Yet, to date, while a substantive body of research has focused on attitudes toward trans people in general, lacking is a focus on trans children and their parents. Methods T…
A point of reference
Transgender (heretofore shortened to 'trans') people remain largely excluded from involvement and leadership in the research conducted with their communities. As a result, few trans insiders (i.e. trans people who are also researchers) are ever in the position of designing, conducting, and disseminating knowledge from trans research. As such, social narratives of trans experiences are often inaccurate, lacking nuance, or directly damaging. This p…
Service provider recognition of the significance of animal companionship among trans and cisgender women of diverse sexualities
Extensive literature reveals the many health benefits animal companions can bring to the humans who live with them. However, much of this work has taken place with heterosexual and cisgender populations. To address this gap, we conducted qualitative interviews with 19 trans and cisgender women of diverse sexualities in Australia who reported having significant relationships with animal companions. In this article, we explore the benefits of healt…
Being together really helped
This article explores the intersections of human and animal lives in the context of violence and marginalisation. It draws on two studies, the first involving a sub-sample of 23 open-ended survey responses completed by transgender and non-binary (TNB) people taken from a larger study exploring the intersections of animal- and human-directed violence, and the second involving eight interviews with TNB people focused on the meaning of animal compan…
Sexual Function among Women in Midlife
I Couldn’t Imagine My Life Without It”
Coming In
Many models of queer sexuality continue to depict a linear narrative of sexual development, beginning in repression/concealment and eventuating in coming out. The present study sought to challenge this by engaging in a hermeneutically informed thematic analysis of interviews with eight queer people living in Western Australia. Four themes were identified: "searching for identity," "society, stigma, and self," "sexual self-discovery," and "coming …
