“Excellent sharing of relevant knowledge – loved the ideas generated for welcoming space” – Alison Holt; Program Manager, BHFLHN

“The subject was of great interest to me and I did learn a lot about the ‘dos and don’ts’ of communicating with and doing business with First Nations peoples. We all need to understand and embrace those nuances to create better relationships going forward” – Pamela Collocott, Business Development Officer; Activus Transport 

 

First Nation Ways of Being series is designed to increase the capability of Aged Services providers, to create service environments that attract and welcome First Nation peoples, both as care recipients and as employees. The series explores the similarities and diversity of First Nation people ways of communicating and learning, how to apply policy frameworks in alignment with First Nations peoples’ approach to health and wellbeing to ensure health and well-being for the older person and the workforce.

  1. Create a service environment that attracts First Nation peoples (clients and staff)
  2. Respond to the care needs of older First Nation peoples
  3. Support First Nation staff to deliver services
