You'll gain insight into traditional knowledge systems and their valuable contributions to health practices.
We'll also examine why cultural respect is essential in health communication and how strengths-based approaches can lead to better outcomes for communities. By comparing mainstream and traditional healing perspectives, you'll develop a more holistic view of health and wellbeing.
