Health Policy Analysts
The focus is for full-time equivalent Health Policy Analysts, in Aboriginal organizations, to address the broader areas of family violence and health policy and programming in the Aboriginal community. Implementation of the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy involves discussion between government and the Aboriginal organizations, ongoing liaison, consultation with Aboriginal communities, and participation in other policy development pursuant to the overall Strategy.
Working with member Aboriginal communities and organizations, the Analysts will identify/determine what are the existing and emerging health and wellness concerns with Aboriginal communities particularly related to the reduction of family violence, primary health care, health promotion, illness prevention. The analysts will monitor, analyse, and communicate local, regional and/or provincial level health and healing needs with a view to improve the overall health and well-being of Aboriginal people living in Ontario. Aboriginal cultural approaches will be reflected or used as a part of the activities and services.
