Winchester has been graciously given the opportunity to speak at a conference for First Nations Health Authority. The conference is called the Interprofessional Health Care Education Forum (HEF). What will be the topic of the talk? It’s about learning the language of the body. Bodies have ancient, instinctive ways of communicating their wants and needs. In a world where the dominant culture focuses largely on making rational sense of things, understanding what the body is saying sometimes takes a hard shift of perspective. It is heartening to be asked to share some understanding of that perspective.
The conference is for nurses who work on reserves from around BC.
Thanks to FNHA for bringing this opportunity to connect with health care professionals who work with indigenous people.
