This presentation will explore the British Columbia Cultural Safety and Humility Standard, the importance of organizational self-assessment and reflection, and FNHA’s unique approach to their evaluation. Measuring cultural safety and humility is a challenge and one that requires innovation, flexibility, and a grass roots approach and we aim to share our approach to support others in their process.
