Cultural Safety and Humility
Indigenous Cultural Safety Resources
Access resources to support you in providing culturally safe care.
The Thompson Region Division of Family Practice is deeply committed to fostering Indigenous, culturally safe, and patient-centered health care services that are free from racism and discrimination. Below is a list of cultural safety and humility resources.
“Cultural safety is an outcome based on respectful engagement that recognizes and strives to address power imbalances inherent in the health care 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 biases and to develop and maintain respectful processes and relationships based on mutual trust. Cultural humility involves humbly acknowledging oneself as a learner when it comes to understanding another’s experience.”

Re Thompson Region Division of Family Practice w7ec ne tmicws re Tkemlúps te ̓ Secwépemc, ne7élye ne Secwepemcúlec
The Thompson Region Division of Family Practice acknowledges that it is situated within the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory on the unceded, traditional lands of the Secwépemc Nation, where we live, learn, collaborate, and work together. It is with humility that we continue to strengthen our relationships with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit peoples in the Thompson Region. We are grateful to the Indigenous communities in our region who lend their support to providing culturally diverse and inclusive care for all.
