Description
For over 30 years, the Canadian Red Cross has been invited into Indigenous communities in Canada to support them in mobilizing to prevent violence and promote wellness. Over the past 12 years, we have collaborated with eleven Indigenous communities to understand community mobilization processes in moving from the violence of colonialism to wellness. Based on knowledge shared by communities, we have developed a Community Journey to Wellness model, a Starting Place Story resource, a timeline of harms experienced by Indigenous communities over the past 500 years, and community mobilization programming. We are eager to describe our learning through this collaborative research with communities and to learn about the Australian experiences in walking alongside Indigenous communities.
