“We are at a pivotal moment in our collective history, one where we have a unique opportunity to mature as a society. We are now entering a post-colonial era. This country is founded and built on a very solid foundation of Indigenous people. We will no longer be invisible in our own land.”

Cultural Safety and Humility
12
Cultural safety is an outcome based on respectful engagement that recognizes and strives to address power imbalances inherent in the healthcare system. It results in an environment free of racism and discrimination, where people feel safe when receiving health care.
Cultural humility is a process of self-reflection to understand personal and systemic conditioned biases, and to develop and maintain respectful processes and relationships based on mutual trust. Cultural humility involves humbly acknowledging oneself as a life-long learner when it comes to understanding another’s experience.

www.fnha.ca
Considerations for Supportive Spaces
• Local territorial acknowledgement (verbally / physically)
• Inclusion of local First Nations language(s) (e.g. signage)
• Larger maternity rooms to accommodate family
• Dedicated space for ceremony / healing work
• Accessibility to wholistic care providers (e.g. doulas, navigators or liaisons, cultural healers, traditional healers)

www.fnha.ca
Considerations for Self-Reflective Practice
• Think about how your historical, cultural, social, cognitive, and personal experiences have impacted your world view and professional practice
• Reflect on your beliefs, attitudes and assumptions and where they come from and how they might impact others
• Think about how power imbalances occur in provider/client interactions and what you can do to support greater balance
• Think about how you can interact with others in a way that demonstrates respect and kindness

www.fnha.ca
Considerations for Client Centered Care
Value each individual, as a fellow human being
Honour an individual as an expert in their own health
Meet an individual wherever they are at
Focus on individual strengths, hopes and priorities
Support client self-determination / personal decision making Nuu-chah-nulth mother’s story approach (personal health descriptions,
lived experience, hopes and dreams, goals) Motivational interviewing / brief action planning
