Community Talk:
Aboriginal Children's Hurt & Healing Initiative and Art for Healing
Aboriginal Children are the fastest growing cohort of children in Canada, yet their chances of achieving their optimal developmental outcomes are compromised by the lingering effect of colonization efforts experienced by their ancestors, combined with current health care inequities. A unique initiative was developed out of clinical questions about how to best generate and disseminate knowledge related to improving the wellbeing of Aboriginal children and youth.
