Description & Services
Information | Our Goal: A supportive, culturally empowering and flexible program for off-reserve Mi’kmaq/Aboriginal parents and their children aged 0 to 6 supporting a child’s “Brighter Futures”. How We Help: C.H.I.P. Facilitators meet with clients to promote the development of Aboriginal Parent Groups to provide guidance, advice and a link to resources and/or programs that lead to a stronger and brighter future for Aboriginal families and their children. C.H.I.P. Facilitators work to strengthen the physical, cultural, emotional and spiritual security of the Aboriginal family unit through access to services like prenatal care, nutrition, parenting skills, recreational facilities and any other activities or programs that the Aboriginal family or child may require. C.H.I.P. Facilitators help organize and support the Aboriginal Parent Groups implement event, workshops, programs and other activities that the Parent Groups see as needed within their area. |
