Hearts Based #Education and #AntiColonial #Learning in #Healthcare (H.E.A.L) Project is using the #arts to combat #HealthcareBiases.
“The H.E.A.L. #HealthcareProject provides #SystemicChange that is long overdue. I often think about the extractive ways that we talk about #CulturalSensitivity and #CulturalCompetency,” said Nicole Halbauer, H.E.A.L. Healthcare Project Manager.
The project will use #poetry, #storytelling, and #VisualArts to better understand patient experiences with a goal of #humanizing the healthcare system by bringing together #FirstNations #creators and #activists based in #PrinceGeorge.
They will work to create #ArtsBased and #AntiOppressive learning materials for healthcare staff including #nurses and #doctors.
The #FreeLessons will be available on the H.E.A.L Healthcare website.
The program is being organized by the Health Arts Research Centre in partnership with the Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health.
The project is part of the federal government’s plan to create better and safer health systems for Indigenous people with $126.7 million being committed to the project over three years.
I wrote this piece based on all the #toxic conversations online lately (foolishly led by JK Rowling, Elon Musk, Logan/Jack Paul, and Donald Trump).
It explores the urgent need for awareness around #misogyny and #patriarchal control.
Congratulations on winning
