The Five R's: Respect, Relevance, Reciprocity, Responsibility, and Relationship

Respect

More than 20 years of working together with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities to share knowledge and build health and well-being solutions that honour, respect and build upon the sovereignty, strength and determination of communities.

Relevance

Our education, resources, and tools are developed by health care staff that have lived experiences and are connected to communities, ensuring a deep relevance and understanding of community strengths and needs. Our approach is to ensure meaningful involvement of community-based workers in the co-development/co-design of all our program offerings and initiatives.

Reciprocity

We are a social enterprise that is committed to giving back to the communities we serve. Supported by Saint Elizabeth Foundation, we offer more than 18 online professional development courses for community health care providers across Canada, at no cost.

Responsibility

Our education programs, resources and tools are designed to meet the education and training needs of community health care providers in convenient, practical and cost-effective ways. Our customized education and health services design and support initiatives are built using a co-development/co-design approach. It has been recognized as a leading model to support culturally safe care.

Relationship

We have built trusted relationships with communities and organizations through approaches that build on our shared values. We are proud of SE Health’s long-standing commitment to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities across Canada, which honours, respects and acts upon the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
