"...Elders talk about how you never go to visit someone empty handed, meaning when you go to ask someone a question, you'd bring them an offering. A fish, a blanket, some beads, something."

At Culturally Committed, we are determined to do this work in a good way. This is why all of our workshop contributors receive compensation, and honorariums are provided to our incredible Mentors.

Phase 2 -- Tentatively Launched Winter 2021

  • ​Members will receive confidential feedback -- which will be collected from clients, submitted either through the website or to the dedicated email address managed by Culturally Committed. The intention is to support providers in becoming more attuned to how to offer culturally safe services, and will utilize feedback to implement adaptations to their practice.

  • Registered providers will be offered resources to promote their Culturally Committed identity:

    • a pin to provide a visual symbol to patients -- that their provider is committed to improving the cultural safety of their practice.​

    • a window decal to affix on the door of the office.

    • Printable graphics to display in the office waiting room, to demonstrate registration in the Culturally Committed program, and to provide information on how it works.

    • Printable post-appointment handout cards with instructions, and a place to put the clinician(s) name(s) -- to aid in the feedback process.
