About the Series  

The New Mexico Social Drivers of Health Collaborative Tribal Health Systems Workgroup is pleased to present a hybrid in-person and virtual co-learning series focused on the Indigenous Social Drivers of Health (ISDOH). Using information provided through Seven Directions, Indigenous Public Health Institute’s Indigenous Social Drivers of Health Training Modules, we have developed this co-learning series tailored to the unique landscape of Tribal Health in New Mexico. The audience for this series includes Tribal Leaders, healthcare professionals, community health workers, and NMSDOH-C collaborative members.

Why Indigenous Social Drivers of Health?

ISDOH acknowledges that Indigenous knowledge and ways of being and doing that have kept communities’ health well since time immemorial. Emergent domains include connection to lands and kinship, continuity of language and identity, exercising sovereignty and governance, and historic – contemporary systemic and structural determinants. The United Nations states It is critical that we ensure that Indigenous cultural systems’ definitions of health are expressed and determined locally by Indigenous Peoples. We will work together to uplift ISDOH efforts across the state of New Mexico.

1. Increase understanding of Indigenous Social Drivers of Health
