01.01.2022 Call Out for stories of Culturally Unsafe Health Practice Trigger Warning - This request may upset some readers by reminding them of negative experiences For CATSINAM Members, friends & family, CATSINaM is currently in the research stages of producing a suite of videos for CATSINaMs Cultural Safety e-Learning or Online Course. As part of the videos, we are seeking personal stories of culturally safe and unsafe provision of care from a diverse range of health profess...ionals nationwide. Contributors should be prepared to sign copyright permission for use of their image and voice (if applicable) and all contributors will be acknowledged in the final resource if their contribution is used. These authentic stories may be used as the basis for testimonials or training re-enactments with all identifying story features de-identified or removed for privacy. The stories collected will play a key role in building an honest, raw, & emotional portrayal of both positive & negative real-life culturally safe health provision. The targeted audience for these videos would include non-Indigenous Nurses & Midwives, we also hope this training will be used for all health professionals. Our intention is to make the viewer feel a sense of uncomfortableness - we know what racism & stigma feels like within our workplaces & communities, this is an opportunity for them to walk in our shoes. If you are interested in participating, please email your responses to the above to [email protected] If you have any questions please call the CATSINaM office on 02 6262 5761
