Health Equity Breakfast Series
The Health Equity Breakfast Series brings together health professionals, advocates, and community members for conversations highlighting what works to advance health equity through culturally responsive, whole person care. Past topics include culturally responsive end-of-life care, integration of traditional healing practices, and community-led strategies to heal from gun violence. Join the conversation on whole person care by joining our event listserv or registering for an upcoming Health Equity Breakfast.
8:30-10 a.m. | Tuesday, Dec. 8
Our December speaker, Dr. Maria Svetaz of Hennepin Health, used the Psychology of Radical Healing (PRH) framework to conduct listening sessions with Latiné, Somali, West African, and African American youth and their families across Minneapolis to assess health care needs post COVID-19 and racial uprisings.
Join us to hear about the findings from those listening sessions and recommendations for healthcare, community organizations, schools and policies.
At our February Breakfast, Dr. Katia Colón-LaCroix and Dr. Noah Gagner shared ways to shift deficit-focused narratives to stories of strength, resilience and agency.
This video shares highlights from our past breakfast on Culturally Grounded Wellness, hosted in partnership with the Minnesota Institute for Trauma-Informed Education (MITIE).
Check out our past events focused on our central theme of resilience.
