ICCER Webinar

Indigenous Health & Continuing Care in Rural Northern Alberta - This project consists of a facilitator’s guide for nurse educators of varying levels. The guide will include a review of Indigenous history and cultural sensitivity with a focus of providing care for the Indigenous client in varying environments. Using case studies developed by a team of educators that are based on real people, concepts are introduced and discussed to provide culturally sensitive care. This care will include knowledge about different complimentary therapies such as traditional medicines, smudging, and including family and elders in support and care. Awareness of common health challenges within Indigenous peoples and the appropriate linkages to social determinants of health will round out the information. These scenarios have the capacity to be used by other disciplines such as social work and prehospital care.
