Learning objectives
By participating in this session, participants will:
1) Learn about the Native Women’s Association of Canada’s culturally-relevant and gender-based analysis (CRGBA) and how it can be applied.
2) Become aware of pre-colonization concepts of health and wellness; how colonization and assimilation efforts affected the health of communities; the current social and political realities for Indigenous communities; and strategies and responses for working with Indigenous women and gender-diverse people to improve health outcomes.
3) Learn about concepts such as intergenerational trauma; differences between the social determinants of health and Indigenous determinants of health; as well as stigma and discrimination and how these experiences contribute to negative health outcomes for Indigenous women and gender-diverse people.
4) Hear about examples of this work in practice.
As a result of this workshop, participants will learn to apply a culturally-relevant and gender-based lens to the work that they do.
