Education
We are pleased to share several educational opportunities available to health care workers interested in learning more about the provision of health care to Indigenous patients in Manitoba.
- Indigenous Health Discharge Planning (Link directs to the Shared Health Learning Management System (LMS). Search Indigenous Health Discharge Planning to locate training.)
- Youth Mental Health & Addictions Education Series – This free education series is encouraged for non-mental health specialists who work with children or youth facing mental health and addictions challenges but are not necessarily treating them. This includes parents, foster parents, social workers, group home workers, teachers or those who support children and youth living in northern communities.
- Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Safety Training (MICST) The Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Safety Training (MICST) program is designed for service providers who work directly or indirectly with Indigenous people in Manitoba.
- Indigenous Cultural Awareness Workshop (Link directs to the Shared Health Learning Management System (LMS). Search the title to locate training.) This workshop introduces cultural safety and highlights historical and contemporary issues affecting health outcomes of Indigenous people. This workshop explores the teachings of two-eyed seeing, the diversity and resilience of Indigenous peoples and the impacts of racism and microaggression.
- Race, Ethnicity and Indigenous Identity Data Collection (Link directs to the Shared Health Learning Management System (LMS). Search the title to locate training.) The collection of race, ethnicity, and Indigenous identity data is an important initiative. It aligns with provincial efforts related to Health Equity, the Provincial Quality and Learning framework, and the health system’s Racism, Disrupted initiative. Many groups are interested in the reporting of health impacts of race, ethnicity, and/or Indigenous Identity (REI). This includes: leaders, organizations, and health professionals from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) communities, human rights organizations, public health organizations, community serving organizations and the general public.
