Cultural Safety for Indigenous Peoples: A Determinant of Health

Overview
Aboriginal Health co-hosted this webinar with the National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health (NCCAH). The presenter, Dr. Sarah de Leeuw, Associate Professor in the Northern Medical Program, UNBC and a Research Associate for the NCCAH, explored how racism impacts how health care services are provided to Indigenous people.
The presentation highlighted the ways in which Indigenous people have expressed their experiences of racism, and discussed ways healthcare professionals might engage with the arts and humanities in order to more deeply reflect on their thoughts about racism and Indigenous Peoples.
The webinar attracted great interest, with 366 participants in attendance.
