Jordan's Principle and NIHB Program - Access to Services for First Nations and Inuit

The Community of Practice for Cultural Safety in Health and Social Services (CoP CS) is a support strategy for HSSN institutions designed to facilitate uptake of the guide La sécurisation culturelle en santé et en services sociaux - Vers des soins et des services culturellement sécurisants pour les Premières Nations et les Inuit (Cultural Safety in Health and Social Services: Towards Culturally Safe Care and Services for First Nations and Inuit) (2021) and support them in developing and implementing preferred practices for developing culturally safe care and services.
It brings together approximately 150 members of the HSSN, including Indigenous Affairs Officers, Indigenous Liaison Officers and other key players-managers and professionals- actively involved in establishing cultural safety.
This "open to all" activity aimed to showcase two key initiatives designed to support First Nations and Inuit members by improving their access to health and social services: Jordan's Principle and the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program. The presenters were from the federal government and the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC).
