Cultural safety is a term that originated in the nursing profession in New Zealand. Common definitions focus on participants (whether clients or workers) feeling safe; feeling they can express their cultural identity; [and feeling] respected and listened to.

CONT

Cultural safety draws our attention to the social, economic, and political position of certain groups within society, such as the Maori people in A/NZ [Australia/New Zealand] or Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Cultural safety reminds us to reflect on the ways in which our health policies, research, education, and practices may recreate the traumas inflicted upon Aboriginal peoples.
