This session (part 1 of 2) introduces participants to the Coin Model of Privilege, Critical Allyship and other approaches to anti-oppressive practice. These frameworks help deepen our understanding of the impact of unearned advantage and disadvantage in different contexts. Participants will reflect on their relationship with different systems of oppression, and ways to foster equity and inclusion in their patient engagement work and the healthcare system more broadly.

Healthcare Excellence Canada would like to thank Dr. Ed Connors (Mohawk) for providing a Thanksgiving address as part of the Opening Ourselves: An Introduction to Anti-oppression Practices and Frameworks (Part 1), learning series. Healthcare Excellence Canada recognizes that Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge is different than Western Knowledge. “Traditional Knowledge” refers to the knowledge systems, know-how, creations, innovations, skills, practices, stories and other cultural expressions generally regarded as pertaining to First Nations, the Inuit, the Métis and/or their members (Traditional Knowledge Holder) which have been developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation of First Nation, Inuit, or Métis members and their ancestors.

In order to honour and respect Traditional Knowledge we ask that you seek permission before sharing this knowledge with others. Please contact Ed Connors ([email protected]) if you wish to learn about Ed Connor's version of the Thanksgiving Address/Prayer of Gratitude in order to share it with others.

Please do not share this knowledge with others without first doing so.
