Indigenous Cultural Safety Webinar Series: Session 5 of 5

Updated on: March 14, 2023

Event Overview:

The Joint Collaborative Committees invites you to watch a virtual five-part series that aims to provide physicians with a deeper understanding of Indigenous Cultural Safety and Trauma Informed Practice in healthcare. Although the sessions are connected, physicians do not need to watch all five.

Each webinar is based on the four elements (circle/wheel process): balance, emotions, physicality/relationality, and intellect and will be hosted by Indigenous Culture Safety facilitator, Harley Eagle.

Please be aware that each Indigenous Nation may have a different way of describing this and may utilize other visual symbols and teachings.
