People Magazine: “We feel grief and anger,” the group said, going on to detail some of the racist attacks they’ve experienced as Asian men. “We have endured expletives without reason and were mocked for the way we look. We were even asked why Asians spoke in English,” the statement said. “We cannot put into words the pain of becoming a subject of hatred and violence for such a reason.”

CNN: K-pop stars BTS share racial discrimination they faced. K-pop stars BTS have spoken out about their own experience with racial discrimination in the wake of rising anti-Asian violence in the US.

Diversity & Inclusion News – Canada – Indigenous

Meet the people putting Indigenous culture at the heart of addictions treatment

The best way to understand and serve your clients is when your staff understands the culture and needs of your clients. Indigenous advocates and front-line workers are pushing to include more traditional ways of healing — conversing with elders, smudging, sweat lodges and drum circles — into substance abuse treatment.

We hear the buzzword “Reconciliation” a lot in Canada a lot in recent years. To this day, there are still high rates of Indigenous kids in foster care and an overrepresentation of Indigenous people in prison.

What is “Truth and Reconciliation”? Did you know that Residential Schools have been in operation in Canada for more than 160 years? More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children have been forced to separate from their families and communities and put into schools where they were forced to let go of their traditions, cultural practices and languages. The last school was closed as late as 1996. Learn about the History of Residential Schools.
