Indigenous Wellness and Health Models, Processes, and Healing
Overview
This Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Seminar will consist of three components. The first part will involve the use of Indigenous epistemology as applied to models of health and wellbeing. These models incorporate Indigenous values and worldviews to consider as treatment goals for physical and mental health. The second component will focus on processes related to un-colonization, decolonization, and Indigenization in relation to training and education of health care providers. The third component will consider treatment considerations inclusive of utilizing Indigenous models of wellbeing, and the knowledge of structural inequities, with attention to ecological and structural factors that can enhance healing and ameliorate the effects of structural inequities. In addition, how to re-create transformation spaces for healing while also being able to assess institutions to move towards radical healing and an anti-racist approach to training, education, and delivery of healthcare services needs to be considered.
