Stand Up for Health

To provide EDI champions with the tools and support to deepen empathy and enhance patient-care across Canadian healthcare institutions

We believe that the social determinants of health are not a list of facts to be known, but rather “conditions to be challenged”
Transformational pedagogy is the vehicle in which we have synthesized social accountability education principles, intersectionality, and critical theory to enable critical reflexivity and hence empathy building
Our curriculum is inspired by our own lived experiences, academic and community participatory research, and participant feedback. This stringent research is translated into narratives

Each narrative explores the deeply-contextualized lived realities of differently situated people
Scalability was top of mind as we designed this system; whether you have 1000 or 10,000 employees
