TFEL Webinar: Anti-Indigenous Racism in the British Columbia Health Care System; Implications for Social Work
February 11, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am UTC+0
This webinar will discuss Anti-Indigenous Racism in the British Columbia Health Care System, and its implications for social work.
In June 2020, claims surfaced about a “Price is Right” game allegedly being played in some B.C. hospital Emergency Departments, in which health care workers were guessing blood alcohol levels of Indigenous patients. The BC Minister of Health commissioned an independent review to investigate the “Price is Right” allegations and whether this game or other forms of Indigenous-specific racism are being experienced by Indigenous people using the provincial health care system, make findings of fact, and make any recommendations it considers necessary and advisable. The Addressing Racism Review was formally launched on July 9, 2020, and released a report on November 30, 2020. This webinar will present the findings of the inquiry with a specific focus upon the implications for social work.
This webinar will occur on Tuesday, February 11th from 10:00 am – 11:00 am MST.
Presenter: Dr. Grant Charles (Associate Professor, School of Social Work, University of British Columbia)

Ce webinaire portera sur le racisme anti-autochtone dans le système de soins de santé de la Colombie-Britannique et ses implications pour le travail social.
En juin 2020, des allégations ont fait surface au sujet d’un jeu «Price is Right» qui aurait été joué dans certaines régions de la Colombie-Britannique les services d’urgence des hôpitaux, dans lesquels les travailleurs de la santé devinaient les taux d’alcoolémie des patients autochtones. Le ministre de la Santé de la Colombie-Britannique a commandé un examen indépendant pour enquêter sur les allégations «Price is Right» et déterminer si ce jeu ou d’autres formes de racisme propres aux Autochtones sont vécus par des Autochtones utilisant le système de santé provincial, tirer des conclusions toute recommandation qu’il juge nécessaire et souhaitable. L’examen de la lutte contre le racisme a été officiellement lancé le 9 Juillet 2020 et a publié un rapport le 30 Novembre 2020. Ce webinaire présentera les conclusions de l’enquête en mettant un accent particulier sur les implications pour le travail social.
Ce webinaire aura lieu le Mardi 11 Février 2021 de 10 h 00 à 11 h 00 MST.
