Dr Tracy Westerman travels to Karratha for ‘Jilya’ book launch
Growing up in Tom Price, Nyamal woman Dr Tracy Westerman had never met a psychologist. Yet she went on to become the first Aboriginal person in Australia to complete a PhD in clinical psychology, rising to become one of the country’s leading practitioners.
With a host of impressive achievements, such as recently establishing her charity, Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health (mentoring Indigenous people from high-risk communities to become psychologists), Dr Westerman is now heading to Karratha for the launch of her memoir Jilya: How one Indigenous woman from the remote Pilbara transformed psychology.
