Cultural Safety Training
This one-day interactive workshop is designed for health and social service professionals working with ethnic clients, particularly in the context of family and sexual violence.
Through hands-on activities and real-world scenarios, participants will strengthen their intercultural practice, develop culturally responsive ways to discuss family and sexual violence, and gain practical tools they can apply directly in their work. The training includes essential elements to explore with clients from migrant and culturally diverse backgrounds, including faith, culture, racism, and visas.
Each workshop is tailored to reflect the unique needs of local communities, using insights from a pre-training survey to shape the content.
This training responds to Shift 3 of Te Aorerekura – equipping workforces to respond, heal, and prevent harm – and aligns with the Family Violence Capability Framework.
Since 2019, Shama has delivered this training to over 800 professionals across 17 cities, supporting the sector to deliver safer, more effective, and culturally respectful services.
