Join RhPAP and special guests Jennifer Best, Mark Yui and Stephanie Montesanti from the Better Together Project for a look at Indigenous-led change to local healthcare.
The Better Together Project (BTP) is an act of cultural reclamation, preservation and reconciliation dedicated to reawakening the ancestral healing practices within Wood Buffalo in Treaty 8 territory.
This collaborative project is working with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit communities in the region through a process of engagement designed to collect and integrate feedback to create culturally inclusive services in an Indigenous Health Space at the Northern Lights Regional Health Centre (NLRHC).
BTP will change how healthcare and healing are approached locally, creating a safe space for Indigenous wellness for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people.
If you have questions about the Better Together Project, please email Jennifer Best at jennifer.best@atcfn.ca. If you have questions about the research please email Stephaine Montesanti at montesan@ualberta.ca
