UBCLC Decolonizing wellness: Indigenous women's perspective on health care

Please join us virtually for a presentation on UBCLC decolonizing wellness: Indigenous women's perspective on health care. This session takes place on the one year anniversary of the In Plain Sight Report. Bringing together Indigenous women in health leadership, the dialogue will continue to explore the report’s findings, take stock of where we are now and explore possible solutions to the ongoing realities of anti-Indigenous racism and sexism within the health care landscape. Unique perspectives will be provided by scholars, policy-makers, practitioners, and other leaders that have the potential to influence positive change.
