Dr. Amy Wright and Rachel VanEvery will discuss the Healing the Hurt Video Campaign, which aims to share the experiences of Indigenous mothers using health care for their infants with the intention of promoting culturally safe care. The project was created at the direction of Indigenous mothers, Indigenous service providers and community members in Hamilton, Ontario, and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Dr. Wright and Rachel hope to encourage health providers to provide culturally safe care for Indigenous families with young children. To learn more, visit www.indigenousmomandbaby.org
