Aboriginal Infant and Family Development Program
The Aboriginal Child & Youth Wellness Program was created for children, youth and their families; to promote wellness, balance and healing. In terms of the medicine wheel, balance means being strong emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Our program is based in Prince George, and we have support workers and clinicians who travel to, or live near our communities. Our team works with Lheidli T’enneh, McLeod Lake, Tsay Keh Dene and Kwadacha.
1. CULTURAL & CLINICAL
We aim to provide counselling and support which integrates culture, teachings and provides cultural opportunities. We are guided by our Cultural and Spiritual Advisors. We also aim to provide clinical counselling services for our clients and their families. Counsellors have a clinical supervisor; and we have access to a Psychiatrist when needed.
2. COUNSELLING & ASSESSMENT
Supportive counselling and assessment is flexible, available in an outreach format, and incorporates Indigenous healing. Clients are able to maintain a long term connection with their counsellor. Clients must meet program criteria to access individual counselling. Clinicians have Master’s Degrees in Counselling, Psychology or a related field. Support workers have a Bachelor’s Degree in a related discipline.
3. GROUPS
Groups are offered throughout the year, and have a cultural component. If you are interested in what is being offered, or have suggestions for a group, please contact us.
