Disrupting Racism in Health Care

Creating Culturally Safe Spaces

we all have a role to play in disrupting racism

At our core, as health care workers, we are committed to the compassionate and professional support and delivery of health services for all, regardless of race, religion, language or global events. It takes a collective effort to stand up and effect change.

How to be an Ally

There are many ways to be an ally to Indigenous peoples. The term ally means that YOU recognize the privilege that settler cultures have and take for granted. It also implies that you challenge and work towards breaking down those barriers that continue to violate Indigenous communities. Being an ally requires social action, strength, courage, humility and a support network.
