May 24th, 2022 – Leaving a Legacy and Uplifting Cultural Safety with Cathy Almost and Cherie Mercer

Have you ever wondered how to engage with Indigenous perspectives in health care? 8 Cultural Safety Principles arose from a circle with Indigenous legacy leaders from across the province of BC. This collaborative experience has had success in breaking down cultural safety so that it’s easier to understand. From the principles to actions there has been a significant collective impact in the health system.
