Date: Monday, April 27, 2020
Time: 9:00 – 16:00 (lunch provided)

In the morning session, the prevalence, effects, and types of trauma across the life course will be reviewed, including the vicarious trauma sometimes experienced by public health practitioners. The main concepts of cultural safety will be identified, and diverse examples of their application will be discussed.
In the afternoon session, two detailed case examples concerning how culturally safe and trauma-informed health promotion programs were implemented in Manitoba (one in partnership with a reserve community and one in partnership with a not-for-profit urban Indigenous organization) will be presented. Attendees will engage in hands-on exercises and discussion concerning barriers to the implementation and evaluation of culturally safe and trauma-informed health promotion practice.
