The Government of Ontario is expanding the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council’s (IPHCC) Indigenous cultural safety training program with an investment of up to $2M over the next two years. The expansion will support the delivery of more cultural training sessions to health care organizations. Almost 2,000 health care providers are expected to participate in the program, where they will learn how to provide culturally appropriate care to First Nations, Métis, Inuit and urban Indigenous people. The training is customizable to fit the needs of individual health care workplaces. “Expanding the Indigenous cultural safety training program will ensure our health care partners have the tools they need to deliver high-quality, responsive care to the Indigenous communities they serve,” said ON Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones.
