In honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, join Embark Behavioral Health & Diamond Strategies on Wednesday, July 20th from noon-2pm ET, for this free and interactive webinar: "Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Mental Health."
Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) comprise knowledge developed within indigenous societies, independent of, and prior to, the advent of the "modern [Eurocentric] scientific knowledge system (MSKS)." Examples of IKS such as Ayurveda from India and Acupuncture from China are well known. IK covers diverse areas of importance for society, spanning issues concerned with the quality of life, from agriculture and water to mental and behavioral health. IS can close socioeconomic equity caps, lead to the development of new technologies, advance sustainably, and promote social and environmental harmony. This session will explore these topics and how indigenous knowledge systems can help us optimize our mental and behavioral health.
This is an interactive webinar where participation is extremely encouraged (mics on cameras on with breakout sessions). Moderator: Sabrina Hansen, MSW. We do not offer CEUs, but certificates of attendance will be avalaible upon request after the event.
