Indigenous Health Educational Series - The Legacy of the Residential School System and Impacts on Health with guest speaker Sandra Bender (Webinar)
With guest speaker Sandra Bender.
In this presentation, we will discuss a brief history of the health-specific issues in the residential schools and the ongoing impacts of that experience, including intergenerational trauma, the importance of a trauma-informed approach across the board for service providers, and some of the other social impacts of the schools. We will also look at the TRC's Calls to Action around health, ongoing barriers to reconciliation, and conclude with some concrete ideas about how to implement reconciliation from within the medical field.
