Inviting Hope

Overview & Synopsis

This volume creates awareness, develops allies and inspires change, to better the social, health, and political conditions impacting Aboriginal Peoples. It is essential for allies to stand with Aboriginal Peoples in the face of social injustice to assist in making change for a more equitable and just Canada. Inviting Hope provides valuable insights on the role social injustices and systemic discrimination have in producing inequitable health conditions, which lead to suicide among Aboriginal Peoples nation-wide. To prevent this, contextual understanding of concepts of suicide, systemic discrimination, and oppression are integral to the treatment and health promotion of Canadian Aboriginal Peoples.
