Cultural Safety

This by-request training explores the dynamics of lateral violence and lateral kindness, examining its roots in trauma and how it shows up in our lives, so we can move forward together with greater understanding and care.

Through an overview of Canada’s history of colonization and oppression, combined with Indigenous teachings and ways of being, participants may develop actionable steps to offer trauma-informed and culturally safe services to Indigenous peoples.
