H.E.A.L. Healthcare: Hearts-based Education and Anti-colonial Learning

H.E.A.L. Healthcare



The Hearts-based Education and Anti-colonial Learning curriculum brings together artists, writers, activists, and people with lived experience to create arts-based anti-oppression learning materials for healthcare educators, professionals, and practitioners.

The goal is to use the arts to address oppressive behaviours and attitudes that we all hold and that permeate healthcare systems and culture. The curricula provided on this site address the longstanding and well-established evidence that health disparities exist because of racist, colonial, able-body/minded, geographic, economic, and gendered inequities.

The H.E.A.L. Healthcare learning resource is for everyone who touches healthcare: practicing healthcare providers and professionals, healthcare staff and administrators, healthcare educators and institutions, and healthcare students.
