Description des services:
|
Put the needs of local Métis communities first through the implementation of client driven services to reduce family violence and the promotion of healthy lifestyles through culture based programming.
Assist clients by helping them identify concerns and then develop action plans to address those concerns. This is achieved by sharing appropriate information with health and social agencies and through community events like crisis intervention workshops, sharing circles, and community outreach events that educate and promote cultural awareness and illness prevention.
Provide participant based services with regards to reducing family violence through fitness and recreation, walking groups, nutrition and foot care clinics, and healthy eating workshops, and Community Gardens.
Provide a holistic approach to good health that includes traditional ceremonies that promote stress relief and gatherings like the Harvest Meal that promote traditional family activities and healthy eating.
Promote information sharing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations including mental health centres, shelters, and treatment centres to increase client access to local services. Whenever possible Métis specific cultural approaches are integrated into the programs and services that are delivered
