Insights into Indigenous Health: A Focus on Cultural Sensitivity


Listen Later

What would it be like if you could experience firsthand the rich and complex tapestry of Indigenous culture, through the eyes of someone who's lived it? Let's set off on this journey together with Kendall Fitzgerald, a local Kaurna and Narungga woman with a goldmine of experience as an Aboriginal health worker. You will be enlightened by her powerful stories and insights about Indigenous health, cultural customs, and the significance of language and cultural sensitivity in healthcare.

We also bring you a candid conversation with an adept liaison officer, who maps out her navigation through the hospital system. She will unpack her strategies for strengthening communication with Indigenous patients and why building relationships matters. 

Hear firsthand experiences from a passionate advocate, who now works within a boarding school, who creates bridges of understanding between students and the Indigenous community.  Be ready for an episode packed with valuable insights, personal stories, and thought-provoking discussions. You wouldn't want to miss it.
