Did You Know?
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has come out with a guide to care for older adults in nursing homes. The 4Ms — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility — make complex care of older adults more manageable. The 4Ms organize care and focus on an older adult’s wellness and strengths rather than solely on disease. Read on.

Cultural Survival is pleased to announce our second cohort of 2022 Indigenous Youth Fellows as part of our Capacity Building Program. Our Indigenous Youth Fellowship project supports young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 18-28: knowledge holders and creators who, through their leadership and creativity, have the potential to significantly advance their work, leading transformative and impactful spaces within their communities. Since 2018 we have awarded 62 fellowships that supported 82 fellows.
|
|
With years of experience coordinating capacity building through workshops, conferences, exchanges, and networks, Cultural Survival believes that it is essential to listen and respond to the self-determined needs of communities to provide the support that is sustainable and, most importantly, relevant to the needs of the communities we serve. The participation of our Indigenous youth is crucial in strengthening self-governance, protecting land rights, fighting climate change, containing the loss of biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, and stewarding Indigenous cultural heritage. Indigenous youth are changemakers, and youth leadership development is an integral part of ensuring the well being of our Indigenous communities.
