Indigenous Trauma & Reconciliation

Join us for a talk that examines how Indigenous Trauma continues to be perpetuated through generations of young Indigenous people. Randal Bell, Senior Advisor – Indigenous Populations, AHS, will explore how this trauma has affected his own family and how it continues to affect many more like his. Randal will explore how trauma has contributed to poor health outcomes of Indigenous people for generations, culminating in what some consider a national health crisis. Drawing on career research and experience, Randal proposes preparations for the journey to Indigenous reconciliation in healthcare and confirms that AHS has already begun planning for this long and difficult journey.
