Building Cultural Safety in the Workplace

A practical introduction to cultural safety as a shared responsibility. This session offers participants a foundational understanding of what it means to create environments where everyone—especially Indigenous colleagues, clients, and partners—feels respected, valued, and included.


Through guided discussion and real-world examples, we explore the principles of cultural safety, humility, and competence, examining how individual actions and organizational systems influence the experiences of Indigenous peoples. Participants learn to recognize common barriers, reflect on their own assumptions, and develop practical strategies for fostering trust, accountability, and meaningful relationship-building.


This session equips teams with actionable tools and insights they can apply immediately, helping to create workplaces and communities where cultural safety is not only understood, but actively practiced.
