Intake Coordinator We Are Indigenous: Big
7 months ago
**ABOUT THE PROGRAM**:
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) BC Division recently launched the We Are Indigenous: Big Worries/Fears, Parent/Caregiver Support Program to meet the needs of Indigenous families across BC, whose children aged 3-12 years are struggling with the experience of the Big Worries/Fears, or what the Western worldview calls anxiety. The program and content are grounded in Indigenous perspectives and the program materials were developed through the leadership and guidance of the Indigenous Advisory group, Caring in All Directions. The program content and materials were created by Indigenous writers/clinicians, and an Indigenous-owned video production company. Using some of the structure from the CPTK-A program, the We Are Indigenous: Big Worries/Fears, Parent/Caregiver program was developed by centering our First Nations, Metis, and Inuit worldviews and perspectives on Wellness and Healing within the historical and present, lived experience of Indigenous families living in BC.
