The Social Services, Supports and Wellbeing in Arctic Canada and Beyond project has engaged a range of community leaders to participate as guest speakers and share insights and ideas with the research team. These guests come from a wide range of backgrounds and fields, and work in many different areas related to Indigenous social services, supports and wellness in both Canada and the United States. The guests\u2019 experiences, and what they perceive is critical to the evolving field of social services, supports and wellbeing in Arctic Canada, has provided tremendous learning opportunities for all involved, but also created linkages and the potential for new relationships between researchers and community leaders. Creating a direct connection to communities and topics outside of the researchers’ fields affords space for connection and innovative ideas and approaches. The project is grateful for support from the University of Washington Global Innovation Fund Research Award (2021-2022) for supporting these visits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
