Taking a Trauma-Informed Approach to Foods and Indigenous Knowledge – FNHA
Apr 27, 2022
A message from Kathleen Yung, FNHA’s Healthy Eating and Food Security Specialist
How can we use culturally safe, trauma-informed practices in connection to the foods we eat? That was one of several topics explored during the recent annual gathering of Dietitians working in Indigenous Health and Knowledge Keepers Network.
The presenters explored food-related experiences during the pandemic, the healing and intergenerational connections through gardening and harvesting initiatives, youth camps and food gathering practices, food trauma, and the re-introduction of traditional foods.
