Hello,

Did you know:

Social, economic, and political factors share the conditions in which individuals grow, live, work, and age and are vitally important for health and well-being.

These should be the starting points for you to reflect on how racism and discrimination may contribute to how Black-identified individuals experience them 🤔

In other words, racism is increasingly recognized as an essential driver of inequitable health outcomes for Black and racialized Canadians!

And discrimination against Black people is deeply entrenched and normalized in Canadian institutions, policies, and practices and is often invisible to those who do not feel its effects 😔

Today, Black Canadians experience health and social inequities linked to processes of discrimination at multiple levels of society, including individual, interpersonal, institutional, and societal discrimination!

Please swipe for some quick facts and visit www.Canada.ca to read about the Social Determinants and Inequities in health for Black Canadians, especially their ongoing experiences around education, housing, income and employment, health, and health behaviours.
