Join us for an enlightening presentation led by Celina Sqwasulwut Williams, Spiritual Adviser and Communications at Ravenswood Consulting, as we delve into crucial aspects of Indigenous healthcare access in urban centres. A 2020 study highlighted significant disparities caused by discrimination within healthcare settings, leading to unmet medical needs among Indigenous individuals. By adopting an anticolonial lens, we can unravel systemic issues and work towards inclusive and culturally competent healthcare practices.
In this session, we will:
Examine critical gaps in our current healthcare system regarding Indigenous health
Discuss the impact of neglect, abuse, and cultural insensitivity on healthcare access
Explore strategies for deconstructing social constructs and implementing cultural consultations to bridge these gaps
Define the role of healthcare providers in creating safe and welcoming spaces for Indigenous communities
Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into improving diversity, inclusion, and healthcare outcomes for Indigenous peoples. Save the date for March 10, 2022, at 12pm ET/9am PT for a 1-hour presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.
