“Decolonization means healing ourselves so that we can establish a sense of safety, connection, and belonging in a world that is not safe and connected.”
– Elaine Alec
CHCPBC is pleased to invite all licensees to this special event led by Indigenous author, entrepreneur, and storyteller Elaine Alec. This is a virtual event and will be recorded for those unable to join live.
Cultivating Safe Spaces: Self Care, Belonging, and Human Capacity
As health professionals across British Columbia navigate significant systems and regulatory change, this session offers space for grounding, reflection, and reconnection to the human side of care. Through the Cultivating Safe Spaces framework, Elaine Alec explores self care as a relational and professional responsibility connected to belonging, emotional safety, accountability, and human capacity, inviting participants to reflect on how we care for ourselves while continuing to care for others within systems under pressure.
