Title: Healing to Build Family and Community
Project Description:
The Healing to Build Family and Community project will strengthen family relationships through activity-based training programs and storytelling to allow parents (many of whom are Survivors), children and community members to build strong, healthy relationships while overcoming the Legacy of Residential Schools. This program involves three initiatives including:
a) Adventure and Leadership Training offered at the War Lake
Traditional Camp on Moosenose Lake. This is a day-camp and wilderness
(canoe trip) experience
b) Community Art and Leadership Training will use a variety of art
forms to explore and express personal beliefs, emotions and strengths, and
c) Deliver Community History and Culture Workshops. The learning
resources will increase the awareness of the intergenerational impacts
of the residential school experience on families and relationships,
reconnect with the collective wisdom of aboriginal parenting, realign
themselves with a spiritual based perspective, and provide youth with
the strength to do well and adults with the strength and discipline to
be positive role models
All three components are designed to create intergenerational
connections, healing and growth-focused awareness of Residential School
history and impacts for youth, Elders, Survivors and parents. These
components will also supplement 'hard skills' with 'soft skills' such
as self-awareness and responsibility, work ethic, communication skills,
leadership, self-esteem development, competency and mastery
experiences. All components complement one
another and are fully integrated.
