The Community Health Form (CHF) is rooted in the development of community-informed programming that supports traditional healing practices while working holistically with western medicine.
The Community Health Forum (CHF) was born in 2019, out of UIC’ s mission to support access to culturally-tailored health and wellness services for self-identified Indigenous peoples in Lenapehoking and the tristate area through advocacy, research, community programming, and direct services.
Through an emphasis on Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), UIC cultivates Indigenous-informed decolonial data collection. Our decolonial research methodologies are underscored by consultation, continuous consent, co-creation, and data sovereignty.
All research is done with proactive consultation with our community members, who give affirmative consent every step of the research process from data collection through dissemination.
Participants are affirmed sovereignty over their data in that they may withdraw their participation and/or any data related to it from study at any time with no consequence.
The Urban Indigenous Collective Community Center will be open by appointment only through August 14 as our team honors ceremony, family care, and annual planning.
Our team remains available by appointment during this time. To schedule a visit or connect with us, please email [email protected].
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our regular Community Center hours beginning Monday, August 17.
Thank you for your patience and support.
