The First Nations Health Directors Association is hosting an intensive 3-day Lateral Kindness Train the Trainer session in each region. In February 2017, the First Nations Health Governance Partners (FNHC, FNHA and FNHDA) signed a joint Declaration of Commitment: Lateral Kindness. The FNHDA lateral kindness training sessions are an exciting step to put into action the FNHDA Position Statement Towards a Zero Tolerance of Lateral Violence and promoting lateral kindness in our workplaces and communities.

PURPOSE
To provide First Nations Health Directors and other health professionals, Chiefs and leaders with an opportunity to build skills and knowledge to deliver lateral kindness training and be champions of change within their own workplaces and communities in BC.
