A Sense of Belonging

Supporting Healthy Child Development in Aboriginal Families

Course Description

This learning bundle provides culturally specific information and approaches that can be applied in everyday practice when supporting Aboriginal families. It was written with many service providers in mind and will increase awareness about First Nation, Inuit and Métis people and their traditional approaches to raising children. Our goal is to enhance service delivery to Aboriginal families and to better fulfill our responsibilities to Aboriginal children. While this module will be most helpful to non-Aboriginal service providers, it may also be useful in the orientation of new Aboriginal service providers.
