This session will explore insights from an action-oriented collaboration of First Nations, Métis, and settler health scholars and practitioners examining how white supremacy and Indigenous-specific racism are embedded within population and public health systems. It will highlight research mapping systemic harms and share practical, evidence-based tools to advance accountability, reconciliation, and Indigenous health equity.
Each Indigenous Health Round is accredited for 1.5 Mainpro+® credits.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will engage with:
- Practical ways to apply these frameworks to our own experiences of stress induced by our work
- How to recognize the importance of Indigenous cultural practices for healthy self-regulation
- How to relate to Indigenous knowledge for the benefit of working with people impacted by intergenerational trauma and participate in healthy intergroup relations.
iCON has partnered with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Indigenous Health to develop Indigenous Health Rounds, which serve as a platform to bring Indigenous voices to health care providers, policy makers and health administrators for knowledge sharing, dialogue, and brainstorming solutions to combat racism and foster culturally safe healthcare settings for Indigenous patients and families.
