Summary

In this video, the panel discusses the need for change to improve mental and physical health in Indigenous communities. The focal point of the talk was to bring light to the social determinants of health, including the problem of inequitable access to healthcare based on geographical factors. These services are available to those in the Indigenous community, but reach can limit their accessibility. The Canadian Dental Association recognizes these challenges, limiting youth to access critical oral healthcare, and want to focus more on Indigenous Children’s Health to make a difference in these specific communities.
