SE First Nations, Inuit and Métis Program

The most helpful and comprehensive course I have taken on mental health, specifically through an Indigenous lens. It was also great to see that the ongoing effects of colonialism and intergenerational trauma are not understated as key factors that affect the well-being of Indigenous communities today. As a former distress line responder and a nurse with mental health experience, I am cautious around mental health courses and training as I find they don't always provide a nuanced understanding of trauma and crisis response. In this case, clearly there was a lot of work done to incorporate as many facets of the intersections between Indigenous identity and mental health as possible in a way that was also easy to understand and accessible.

Amanda and Kaila were fantastic educators. They are both very knowledgeable in wound care and it was great to learn from their education & experiences. The workshop had a great balance between theory & practical application. I am leaving with more confidence in my assessment & knowledge.
