The ACHH Initiative strives to move our research and findings into practice as part of our commitment to our partnering communities. In doing so, we’ve created evidence based resources to support the continued efforts of ensuring culturally safe healthcare experiences for Indigenous children and youth.
The first step in understanding the way Indigenous children express their hurt is to establish culturally-safe approaches to pain care.
The ACHH App will allow children to articulate their pain and hurt through stories and descriptions, while remaining stoic in their pain expression.
The acronym LISTEN approach outlines strategies for clinicians that will be a safe guide to manage pain and hurt.
