Family Healing
Nishnawbe Aski Nation Family Healing Initiative Summary:
The Nishnawbe Aski Nation Family Healing Initiative this year is focusing on the achievement of three main goals. The first goal is to promote peace, safety, harmony and family unity for women, youth, children and families in the NAN Territory. This will be accomplished through supporting community action to promote family healing and healthy sexuality and through rebuilding cultural values. The Family Healing Initiative is to be directed by the NAN Women's Council which will act as an oversight body to address and implement family healing.
The second goal is education and awareness on family healing and healthy sexuality through training sessions in communities and through supporting two major conferences - The NAN Women's Conference and the NAN Youth Decade Celebrate Life Conference.
The third goal is to have families and communities supported to promote healing, recovery and to ensure the continuum of care is maintained. This goal will be carried out through supporting Traditional Healing Projects and providing assistance to community proactive family healing activities.
