| 04 Mar 2022 | Cultural Humility - Principle 4 | 00:32:16 | |
Welcome to the Cultural Humility Podcast Series presented by Indigenous Vision! This week Souta Calling Last (Executive Director & Trainer) and Melissa Spence (Producer & Trainer) breakdown the fourth principle of Cultural Humility: Advocating and maintaining institutional accountability that parallels the three principles above. While individual development is essential, it is insufficient as a standalone process to redirect the social hierarchy and structural inequality that set the stage for unequal service/provider dynamics like health care delivery and care. Organizations and institutions are required as well to examine their unexamined processes and structures to participate actively in system transformation. Join our next training or schedule one with our Indigenous, female-led team! The Cultural Humility model provides a method to advocate and maintain accountability by redressing the power imbalances in our communities. For over two decades, the model has replaced the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world. Learn more about our Indigenous female-led trainings: https://www.indigenousvision.org/culturalhumility Cultural Humility Training October 2022: https://www.indigenousvision.org/culturalhumility/032022-10hr/ The Cultural Humility model is sourced from a Train the Trainers session taught by Dr. Melanie Tervalon and Dr. Jann Murray-Garcia, along with their published article: Jann Murray-Garcia - 'Cultural Humility' 2013, a video on the scripts we hold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZUP6CrHAXA Kotter's Change Model: https://www.kotterinc.com/8-step-process-for-leading-change/ This podcast is produced by Melissa Spence. | |||

| 27 Feb 2022 | Cultural Humility - Principle 3 | 00:38:21 | |
Welcome to the Cultural Humility Podcast Series presented by Indigenous Vision! This week Souta Calling Last (Executive Director & Trainer) and Melissa Spence (Producer & Trainer) breakdown the third principle of Cultural Humility: Developing mutually beneficial partnerships with communities on behalf of individuals and defined populations. This asks us to seek and honor the expertise that resides in the communities we serve in non-paternalistic, mutually beneficial alliances. Join our next training or schedule one with our Indigenous, female-led team! The Cultural Humility model provides a method to advocate and maintain accountability by redressing the power imbalances in our communities. For over two decades, the model has replaced the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world. Learn more about our Indigenous female-led trainings: https://www.indigenousvision.org/culturalhumility The Cultural Humility model is sourced from a Train the Trainers session taught by Dr. Melanie Tervalon and Dr. Jann Murray-Garcia, along with their published article: Jann Murray-Garcia - 'Cultural Humility' 2013, a video on the scripts we hold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZUP6CrHAXA This podcast is produced by Melissa Spence. | |||
