TO PREPARE:

Review the Learning Resources and Course Announcements.

Research organizations within your area of focus and review their policy, commitments, or vision statement regarding cultural humility/safety.

BY DAY 7
Submit an evaluation of the cultural humility/safety policy or statement from the organization you selected. In your evaluation:

Explain how the statement promotes cultural humility/safety within its organization and for its service users.

Explain how it can be improved.

If you were a leader at this organization, describe one practice you could implement or procedure you could improve to comply with the cultural humility/safety policy or statement. For example, you could consider how to update intake forms to be gender-neutral or adjust office hours so service users could have more access.
