The Cultural Humility model provides a method to advocate and maintain accountability by redressing the power imbalances in our communities. For over two decades, the model has replaced the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world. Learn more at www.indigenousvision.org/culturalhumility.
Participants will 1) earn a certificate of completion 2) receive a copy of the powerpoint slides and facilitator’s guide, & 3) become a member of a lifelong cohort with access to exclusive training and a network of resources.
Who should attend?
All are welcome, from community members, organizers, healthcare providers, students, teachers, government workers, administrators, to elected leaders. Our entire community can benefit from practicing Cultural Humility.
