Aboriginal Cultural Safety: How to be an Ally

This video explores:
What Aboriginal cultural safety looks like in health care, and
How health professionals can ensure the provision of culturally safe care to Aboriginal clients and their families.
The video includes several examples, scenarios, and tips for allies. Witnessing culturally unsafe beahaviours can be daunting. The video provides information on how to “stand up” effectively to unsafe behaviours or comments directed at Aboriginal clients.
Understanding the colonial narrative is fundamental to cultural safety and the health impacts on Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Being self-reflexive and self-aware of our own implicit biases within health care encounters is also important to health outcomes.

True. My family do not consider ourselves Aboriginal even though our Great Grandfather was an Aboriginal man. We were not raised as Aboriginal people and we are white. None of us choose what our ancestors did but everyone having a fair chance is important. I think blaming some people for what their ancestors did or because their skin is more white is wrong.
