With the growing awareness of the need to provide trauma-informed care for all people, it is important that Indigenous voices are being represented in these conversations.

During this interactive webinar, participants will explore what culturally-relevant, gender-based and trauma-informed sexual and reproductive health care should look like, and gain practical tips on how to provide this care to Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people.

Participants will also learn about the Native Women’s Association of Canada’s trauma-informed STBBI resources and will be walked through concepts such as intergenerational trauma; Indigenous determinants of health; as well as stigma and discrimination and how these experiences contribute to negative sexual and reproductive health outcomes for Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people.
