IPH Summer Institute 2021 (Online)
August 23-27, 2021 | 8:30 am to 12:30 pm PDT via Zoom.
Special Topics: Unmasking the Failure of the Opioid Crisis and Other Public Health Emergencies
In light of the success of our 2021 IPH Winter Institute via Zoom, we are looking forward to another online Indigenous Public Health Training Institute this summer from August 23-27, 2021. We are offering a timely elective course: SPPH 581V Unmasking the Failure of the Opioid Crisis and Other Public Health Emergencies. The province of British Columbia recently passed a grim 5-year milestone since declaring a public health emergency due opioid deaths. We will explore the opioid crisis, its impact on Indigenous people and communities, treatment options, harm reduction and traditional medicine practices. We will also examine the intersecting crises of opioids, Covid-19 and systemic racism toward Indigenous peoples.
