  1. Hearts Based #Education and #AntiColonial #Learning in #Healthcare (H.E.A.L) Project is using the #arts to combat #HealthcareBiases.

    “The H.E.A.L. #HealthcareProject provides #SystemicChange that is long overdue. I often think about the extractive ways that we talk about #CulturalSensitivity and #CulturalCompetency,” said Nicole Halbauer, H.E.A.L. Healthcare Project Manager.

    The project will use #poetry, #storytelling, and #VisualArts to better understand patient experiences with a goal of #humanizing the healthcare system by bringing together #FirstNations #creators and #activists based in #PrinceGeorge.

    They will work to create #ArtsBased and #AntiOppressive learning materials for healthcare staff including #nurses and #doctors.

    The #FreeLessons will be available on the H.E.A.L Healthcare website.

    The program is being organized by the Health Arts Research Centre in partnership with the Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health.

    The project is part of the federal government’s plan to create better and safer health systems for Indigenous people with $126.7 million being committed to the project over three years.

  2. People who use ableist and body shaming language to dunk on public figures are sending a message that they aren't allies to neurodivergent and people with body differences.

    If someone is a shitty person, talk about their crappy beliefs, criticize their shitty behaviour. Using ableist slurs and body shaming language implies that those elements are the problem rather than the actual issue.
