What is the Learning Circle?
The UBC Learning Circle is a partnership among the UBC Division of Aboriginal People’s Health (DAPH), the First Nations Health Council (FNHC) and First Nations and Inuit Health (FNIH). Our intention is to provide educational and informational opportunities to health care workers and professionals in First Nations communities. The knowledge comes from your sharing of successful health practices and interventions, speakers, researchers and other experts.

I have this great idea for a session…
The UBC Learning Circle is based upon the sharing of knowledge. We always welcome your input of what you think would benefit your community. If you have a great idea about what you would like to see, or know of a great presenter, please contact Jamie Witt at aph.assistant2@familymed.ubc.ca
I want to be able to view a past session. Why are some sessions not recorded?
We sometimes talk about some difficult things in the Learning Circle. Out of respect and privacy for those who choose to share their stories with the circle, we choose not to record certain sections or entire sessions for this reason. We are currently working on making the speaker portion of past sessions available for those who cannot attend.


I would like to participate in the learning circle
Our site would like to register for the October 27th Learning Circle session.
Thank you.
It would be most helpful to our communities to see a series on parenting and attachment by Gabor Mate and/or Gordon Neufeld or perhaps Tamara Strijack (Neufeld Institute) Many of the parenting programs offered in our communities do not address attachment or parenting older children. Post Residential school; issues are quite extensive series would make a meaningful difference to front line workers and clients alike.
Kind Regards.
Myself and a co-worker would like to listen in on the talk scheduled for today called Men’s health and healing but we are both in a meeting so I am wondering if it is possible to view it later on today or tomorrow. Is this possible
