Together, FPWC and Thunderbird Partnership Foundation hosted 6 roundtables with 96 First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and non-Indigenous workers to hear about experiences of anti-Indigenous racism within mental health and addictions systems. By engaging with mental wellness workers from coast to coast to coast, valuable insights were gathered and developed a set of recommendations to prevent and respond to racism within these systems. Our report is based on dialogue and input gathered from a series of roundtable discussions with 96 participants across 5 sessions, as well as a post-engagement survey. It focuses on recommendations for preventing and responding to anti-Indigenous racism in health care and reinforces the importance of supporting distinct Indigenous voices, values, and ways of being.
