Follow our account tomorrow on #NDTR to get updated on our 1st Indigenous Clinicians Gathering taking place to set the priorities for pain research for Indigenous children and youth. Thanks to supporters CIHR-IMHA Community, ACHH Initiative, and Wabanaki Two Spirits for making this happen.

On this #NDTR2023, Indigenous health researchers, community advocates, and clinicians from across the country are gathering over two days to create pathways in addressing Indigenous kids’ pediatric pain and hurt in Six Nations of the Grand River and Hamilton, Ontario.

Participants at the Indigenous Clinicians Gathering are gathered around the fire for storytelling time. #NDTR2023

Today, we honour #OrangeShirtDay, inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s story. Her experience in the Indian Residential School system reminds us of the resilience of survivors and the deep impact this system has on Indigenous children, families, and communities. #EveryChildMatters 🧡
