Supporting healthcare providers in Indigenous Communities in Alberta

Healthcare providers need tools and resources to support patients with caregiving responsibilities – including culturally appropriate tools for providers in Indigenous communities.

The Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence is supporting researchers at the University of Alberta to learn about current barriers and opportunities for supporting Indigenous family caregivers.

The research team will:

• Interview healthcare providers working in the Samson Cree Nation and Enoch communities to develop an understanding of the current barriers to supporting Indigenous family caregivers
• Produce a report outlining recommended tools and resources for health providers who support caregivers
