Become an Indigenous Community Diabetes Support Worker and make a difference in diabetes prevention. Learn Indigenous concepts and traditional holistic teachings to deepen your cultural knowledge and health care practice. According to Health Canada, Type 2 Diabetes is a serious health concern for Canada’s First Nations. Statistics indicate Aboriginal people have a much higher risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes than ever before. 

The ICDS worker functions within a community health care team by facilitating access to services, advocacy, health promotion, and self-management support for individuals, families and community members. Be the difference for people at risk for developing or living with diabetes.
