Unlearning & Undoing Club – A New Community of Learning & Reflection Launches…

Join us for a rich learning experience, rooted in love & care, to collectively advance our knowledge & practice to identify & address systemic racism & discrimination.

This seven-part series for healthcare practitioners and teams is hosted by the Circle of Indigenous Nations Society (COINS) Aboriginal Wellness Team in partnership with the Kootenay Boundary Primary Care Network (PCN).

Modelled on the teachings of Dr. Danièle Behn Smith and Dr. Kate Jongbloed for the Office of the Provincial Health Officer (OPHO), the program supports participants in moving from theory to practice in identifying and addressing anti-Indigenous racism.

Through monthly facilitated discussions and personal reflection between sessions, participants will explore how systemic white supremacy, settler colonialism, discrimination, and racism show up in health care — and how to collectively create space for truth, accountability, and change. Each session includes pre-work such as short readings and videos, with guided prompts to inspire dialogue and shared learning.

The series offers health-care professionals an opportunity to:

• Deepen understanding of anti-racist and decolonizing practice
• Reflect on how systemic inequities appear in day-to-day work
• Engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues and Elders
• Root professional practice in love, care, and relational accountability
• Help move the needle on meeting the PCN Attribute of Care for Cultural Safety and Humility

Open to PCN staff and members across the Kootenay Boundary – including physicians, nurse practitioners, allied health professionals, clinic staff, teams, medical residents, and other health-care professionals. PCN practitioners & teams ~ watch your inbox for a direct invite with enrollment link!
