The National Collaborating Centre on Aboriginal Health, the CCL Aboriginal Learning Knowledge Centre and the Canadian Association for School Health collaborated in the development of a consensus-based Indigenous Sc
hool Health Framework.
You can view and download a copy of that guidance document by selecting this "Download for easy printing" version. We welcome any comments and suggestions about this framework. Use the "thread" tool found on the bottom of this page.
A published version of the paper is also available on the web site of the National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health. This more attractive version includes images and is more suitable for dissemination.
This paper was developed in cooperation with community leaders, practitioners and researchers from the First Nations, Metis and Inuit nations in Canada as well as with indigenous school health leaders from the Seminole, Navajo, Hawaiian, Maori and Torres Islander nations among others.
The project activities include the development of an overview of culturally relevant practices and inventory of resources, a literature review, wiki-based consultation, meetings and workshops in Canada (Yukon), the United States (Florida) and Australia (Queensland). These consultations were led by indigenous school health practitioners and leaders with support from the Canadian, American, New Zealand and Australian school health associations in cooperation with the International School Health Network.
The framework was finalized in a meeting of the Aboriginal School Health Community of Practice in Canada in May 2009. The framework was highlighted at a meeting of the Indigenous Health Council of the American School Health Association in November 2009. The framework and this project was also a keynote presentation at an international school health symposium held in Geneva in July 2010 with over 40 countries represented.
An ongoing dialogue on the framework and its implications is being planned. One example of this was a collaborative project with the Centre for Prevention Science at the University of Western Ontario that combined the principles in the ISH Framework with a manual promoting aboriginal youth empowerment. The principles and empowering practices were explained in a series of webinars. A national consultation, using the ISH framework as a guiding document, will be held in the Spring of 2011 on its application to the mental health strengths and needs of aboriginal children and youth.
As well, the research and resources related to this consensus statement have been posted and will be maintained on another page (toolbox) in this section of our wiki-based web site. The ISH framework also forms the basis for the work of the Aboriginal School Health Community of Practice.
