The goal for this Toolkit is to develop a culturally grounded program that will educate non-Indigenous agencies on various topics such as intergenerational trauma, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and Indigenous traditional methods of healing. The Toolkit will take a two-eyed seeing approach of including traditional Indigenous knowledge and Western knowledge approaches to trauma informed care and healing. The majority of the topics and information in the toolkit are derived from or inspired by the knowledge of Elder’s in Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 areas in Saskatchewan.

 

As part of this program, Caring Hearts offers education and training on trauma, culturally appropriate care, trauma informed care, self-care and resiliency building, and ambiguous loss for agencies, groups and volunteers.  Resource materials including manuals, workbooks, and webinars can also be accessed.
