This course builds upon knowledge and skills gained in the Introduction to Cultural Safety and Indigenous Holistic Health Equity.

Students will develop a personal action plan that demonstrates reflection on systemic and personal stereotypes and biases, integration of Cultural Humility and Safety practices, and a commitment to reducing inequities and disparities experienced by Indigenous peoples.
