April 21N4 Re-Connect: Charting the Course Together in Newcomer Navigation
The dual pandemics of COVID-19 and the racial justice movement have highlighted the vulnerabilities of newcomers among health and social service organizations. Many organizations made commitments to improving Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), but struggled to actualize real change. From April 2020 to January 2021, N4 engaged with over 40 organizations from across Canada to better understand their experiences as they supported newcomers navigating health and social services. N4 will present brand-new key findings from this report, including challenges, barriers, successes, and innovations, and discuss how N4 is applying these findings to support professionals in advancing EDI across Canada. Participants will be engaged in a facilitated discussion to explore ways they can leverage and apply key findings to their work. |
May 4National Standards for Healthcare Equity: The Case for Provincial Interpretation Services
Access to professional healthcare interpretation is a serious health equity issue. Without the ability to communicate with a care provider in their preferred language, patients cannot engage with healthcare services and the legislative obligations under which healthcare providers function cannot be met. In consultation with healthcare and settlement providers across Canada, N4 developed a proposed national standard and an accompanying set of recommendations to address language barriers for newcomers. This position paper, ‘National Standards for Healthcare Equity: The Case for Provincial Interpretation Services,’ calls for an interpretation approach that can be implemented nationally to promote safe, equitable and positive healthcare access and experiences for newcomers. |
