BC Nurses United for Social Justice Webinar: An Evening with Dr. Gabor Maté
This event will focus on the devastating violence in Gaza and how it impacts healthcare workers, the healthcare system, and the Palestinian people. What is the relationship between the events of October 7, and the colonization of the Palestinian people? We invite you to listen and learn from one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, as we share an evening with Dr. Gabor Maté. Opening our event will be Coast Salish, Snuneymuxw, and Cowichan Nations Elder, Dr. Roberta Price.
About Dr. Roberta Price
For over 30 years, Elder Roberta Price has actively shared her leadership, wisdom and teachings at UBC and throughout the Lower Mainland to assist both Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members to achieve improved outcomes in health care. A member of the Coast Salish, Snuneymuxw, and Cowichan Nations, she has been instrumental in helping to create shared spaces for both Indigenous and Western approaches to healing and health. Her ongoing involvement and leadership in research projects have been key to the continued work of decolonizing health care and creating cultural safety and equity for Indigenous patients.
