SUMMARY:Indigenous Caregivers: Tools to Support Your Journey
DESCRIPTION:Within Indigenous cultures\, caregiving is part of traditional roles and values embedded in collective and community responsibility. Many people may not consider themselves caregivers but rather family members\, friends or community members providing support for someone’s wholistic needs. While caregiving can be incredibly rewarding\, caregivers within Indigenous communities encounter numerous challenges\, such as a lack of culturally safe services\,\nsupport and education\, economic difficulties\, geographical barriers\, and the ongoing impacts of colonization. \nOCO welcomes Holly Prince from the Centre for Education and Research on Aging & Health (CERAH) at Lakehead University to discuss the following:\n• Hear stories and experiences from Indigenous caregivers\n• Explore the OCO and CERAH’s adaptation of the I am a Caregiver Toolkit for Indigenous communities\n• Learn about CERAH and their newly developed caregiver resources \nOur Speaker: Holly Prince is an Anishinaabekwe and a member of Opwaaganisiniing in Northwestern Ontario\, Canada. She is the Lead for the Indigenous People’s Health & Aging Division at the Centre for Education and Research on Aging & Health\, Lakehead University\, where she works as a Project Manager. A part of her role involves planning\, implementing\, and evaluating palliative care education and health equity initiatives for Indigenous peoples across Canada.
