FHQTC has also partnered with the DEPtH Lab at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy to implement a community trial called Smart Indigenous Youth in collaboration with schools serviced by FHQTC. This initiative embeds a culturally-responsive, land-based program into school curricula to address mental health and substance misuse. The educators and youth are citizen scientists in this project, and they engage with researchers at the DEPtH Lab using their own smartphones to co-create knowledge.
All Nations’ Healing Hospital research projects are conducted in an ethical and safe manner. They are guided by the Community Research Advisory Committee (CRAC) which is made up of Knowledge Keepers, community members and stakeholders from the 11 Nations in File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council.
