APPRISE co-design online workshop - Date: 14-15 October 2021
The aim of this co-design workshop was to develop a culturally responsive trauma-informed public health emergency response framework for First Nations families and communities. We developed framework components by discussing the findings of (1) a rapid review of trauma-informed public health emergency approaches, and (2) current research exploring the experiences of First Nations people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
