Empowering Young Parents Series - Fourth Circle: Mending Families Building Resilience

<p>Families Mending Building Resilience - In 1994 the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) created the Aboriginal Healing Foundation which has since provided the basis for much of the community healing tools we find available for today’s generation. We will explore the role Colonial institutions like Residential School and Canadian child welfare policies have had upon our families and how communities have coped with the ongoing challenges of mainstream society. Young families are supported and have many opportunities for healthy choices as Reconciliation activities can be seen blossoming through agencies like Manitoba’s First Nations Family Advocate Office. This session will provide hands on tools and activities that young parents can make use to bolster their parenting.</p>

<p>Ko&#x27;ona Saber is member of the Bizhiw doodem (Lynx Clan) from Peguis First Nation, where her father Walter George Cochrane was integral in the reclamation of indigenous cultural practices prior to her birth in 1970. She has much personal and professional experience in advocating and assisting families who have children with additional support needs. Ko’ona has extensive experience in helping to strengthen and support indigenous families through work in health promotion, indigenous issues, community development in addition to providing cultural programs and supportive services.
