San'yas Anti-Racism Indigenous Cultural Safety Training
San鈥檡as Anti-Racism Indigenous Cultural Safety Training is a unique, facilitated on-line training program designed to increase knowledge, enhance self-awareness, and strengthen the skills of those who work both directly and indirectly with Aboriginal people. The goal of the ICS training is to further develop individual competencies and promote positive partnerships.
Skilled facilitators guide and support each participant through dynamic and interactive learning modules. Participants will learn about terminology; diversity; aspects of colonial history such as Indian residential schools and Indian Hospitals, time line of historical events; and contexts for understanding social disparities and inequities. Through interactive activities participants examine cultural, stereotyping, and the consequences and legacies of colonization. Participants will also be introduced to tools for developing more effective communication and relationship building skills.
The program was developed by the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) Aboriginal Health Program. The Core ICS training is general, and relevant for foundational learning for many disciplines.

鈥淚 really appreciated the San鈥橸as course and have recommended it to colleagues. The material encouraged reflection and provided a safe space for honest sharing and exploring issues in a deep and meaningful way.鈥� 鈥� Tony Botelho, Director Career & Volunteer Services
鈥淚 highly recommend the San'Yas training. It was extremely thorough, well presented, and allowed for me to thoughtfully consider the information on both a systems/societal level, as well as on a personal level. I learned a lot through this training, and it has had a positive impact on how I approach my work.鈥� 鈥� Julie Glazier, Case Manager, Sexual Violence Support & Prevention Office.
