Indigenous cultural safety: Confronting anti-Indigenous racism and providing trauma-informed care 

Indigenous people often face discrimination when accessing the health system, and many have histories of health-related trauma. To address these health disparities that continue disproportionately impact Indigenous peoples, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action recommended providing cultural competency training for all health care professionals, including skill-based teaching in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.

Supporting patients with ADHD and comorbidities  

ADHD is often missed due to its shared characteristics with anxiety and depression, or because patients have multiple mental health conditions in addition to ADHD.  In Ontario, waitlists to see a psychiatrist can be extensive, but many family doctors don’t feel comfortable diagnosing ADHD. In this session, our panelists will discuss how undiagnosed ADHD can lead to declining productivity at work or school, diagnostic tools that can help diagnose patients and other resources to support patients with ADHD and co-occurring medical conditions.   The Practising Well Community of Practice has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits.
