Overview
What you will study
The responsibility to reduce harm and provide culturally safe care for all people is a mandated social imperative for all Canadian health care and service providers. To be an effective health coach or navigator serving diverse populations, you must be able to create and maintain a safe environment so that all your clients’ concerns can be clearly heard.
Culturally safe health care practice moves beyond the mere acknowledgment of the differences that multicultural patients bring to the healing relationship. It requires an examination of the impact of practitioner assumptions and implicit bias on the state of the therapeutic relationship. Self-reflection is therefore essential to the provision of culturally safe care.
The Cultural Safety for Health Coaches and Navigators course offered by York University will help you develop a deeper understanding of the social and systemic contributions to the experiences of various marginalized people in the health care setting. You will also be able to better understand and address recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada mandate.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Build a framework to navigate cross-cultural approaches and beliefs on illness and ways of healing as a health coach or navigator.
- Address recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada mandate to develop appropriate policy and practice.
- Responsibly advocate for culturally safe care on behalf of multicultural and marginalized clients and communities.
- Clarify basic concepts and theoretical perspectives pertaining to race and racism.
- Explore historical and contemporary societal contributions to racism and its impacts on the social inclusion and exclusion of various groups of people.
- Establish an openness to diverse perspectives on the experiences of others for the purpose of expanding culturally safe access to care.
- Understand the impact of socially constructed biases on socially marginalized groups with a specific focus on the Indigenous First Nations peoples of Turtle Island.
