Indigenous Resource Guide
CULTURALLY SENSITIVE SUPPORTS AND SERVICES FOR THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY
Are you a part of the Indigenous community? A family member? An ally?
Then this Indigenous Resource Guide is for you.
At Cherry Tree Counselling, we truly believe it takes a village. The mental health and well-being of ALL individuals is vital to our communities, yet there continues to be a lack of support for those issues specific to those within the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. As identifying as a part of this community and as family members, allies, and therapists ourselves, we recognize the gaps in care that currently exist.
We want to close that gap by building and offering a community of care that is inclusive and equitable. A community where anyone - regardless of their culture and identity - and their loved ones feel empowered throughout their journey.
This Indigenous Resource Guide contains a list of provincial, national, and international Indigenous supports including: not-for-profit organizations, community centres, governmental programs, online networks and more.
This guide is by no means a complete list of all of the Indigenous resources and supports available. If you know of, would like to recommend, or are an organization/individual/business that offers Indigenous resources or supports, please contact us via the form below.
Why is culturally sensitive care important?
Inclusive health care requires equitable access and full participation - at its core, this model removes barriers, offers accommodations, and deliberately provides informed and sensitive care—care that often involves people who often face the largest health disparities—we can improve the health outcomes for all people.“
Culturally sensitive healthcare is an important part of inclusive healthcare. Acknowledging and respecting the unique cultural beliefs, practices, and needs of Indigenous peoples is crucial for inclusive healthcare, especially in a therapeutic context. It helps create a safe and supportive environment where Indigenous individuals can feel understood, valued, and empowered to actively participate in their own healing journey. Cultural sensitivity promotes trust, improves communication, and enhances the overall effectiveness of healthcare services for Indigenous peoples.
Creating an environment in which these conversations are more comfortable for the patient is an important goal for all healthcare staff.
Supporting the Calls to Action in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Report. While the report largely focuses on calling federal, provincial, and municipal governments to action in addressing the legacy of the Residential School System and engaging in reconciliation
with Indigenous peoples, it is also vital that community organizations and services support this work.
By actively supporting these Calls to Action, local organizations and services play a crucial role in promoting healing and justice for Indigenous communities, can contribute to addressing the historical injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, and work towards building a more inclusive and equitable society.
Barriers to care for Indigenous people exist.
There are many reasons why Indigenous people have difficulty accessing healthcare. Most of these problems can be summarized in three categories:
Social and economic challenges such as limited resources, inadequate funding, and a lack of culturally appropriate care options.
Cultural barriers including a lack of understanding and respect for their unique cultural beliefs and practices.
Systemic discrimination including limited access, cultural misconceptions, and inadequate recognition of their specific needs.
Common health issues among Indigenous people are mostly related to historical trauma, social determinants of health, and systemic inequities.
Historical trauma refers to the long-lasting impacts of colonization, forced assimilation, and other forms of systemic violence experienced by Indigenous communities.
Social determinants of health play a crucial role in Indigenous health disparities. These determinants include factors like poverty, inadequate housing, food insecurity, limited access to education, and discrimination.
Systemic inequities include limited access to quality healthcare services, culturally appropriate care, and healthcare professionals who understand the unique needs and experiences of Indigenous communities.
