A Lakota NP's Journey to Empowering Indigenous Patients & Students ft. Whitney Fear, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Adrianne is excited to welcome Whitney Fear, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who lives and works in Fargo, North Dakota. You may recognize her from Shift Nursing’s documentary Who Cares? A Nurse’s Fight for Equity, a powerful film that follows her as she works to provide care on the Pine Ridge reservation where she grew up. Pine Ridge is one of the poorest areas in the United States with some of the lowest life expectancy rates. Whitney is a woman of the Oglala Lakota Nation and works at a federally qualified health center that takes a holistic and trauma-informed approach to treating behavioral health and substance use disorders. She highlights that healthcare is far more than appointments, prescriptions, and forced compliance to care plans. Her methods are the focus of this conversation. Whitney and Adrianne discuss a range of topics in this hour including:
Imposter syndrome and how it holds us back; her personal experiences and lessons
Challenges of being a 1st generation college student from a non-traditional background
Why diversity among healthcare providers is so essential for providing quality care
Advice for creating safe spaces for conversation in the mental health care setting
LGBTQ+ care, discrimination, colonialism, and their intersections
What does and does not make an excellent provider in Whitney’s eyes
