Building capacity for non-Indigenous allies to work respectfully and authentically within Indigenous communities requires a strong understanding of historical and ongoing cultural trauma, and the resilience and ingenuity of Indigenous communities. Please join us as we welcome Barb Blackdeer-Mackenzie, Community Healer and Indigenous CARES Director at Healing Intergenerational Roots (HIR) Wellness Institute, as she shares a social justice-informed and culturally rooted Intergenerational Healing Approach™ that improves mental health and wellness outcomes for Indigenous and underserved communities. During this session, Barb will demonstrate that the trauma experienced, intergenerationally, from social injustice, racism, discrimination, and the cascading effects of Historical Trauma, require culturally responsive, relevant, and community-informed and co-created mental health services and programming.
