Description (French)
Le programme Kativiik communiquera avec les membres des familles Inuits directement touchés par l'expérience de la perte d'un être cher disparu ou assassiné. Un personnel de travailleurs formé et qualifié sur la sensibilisation Inuit offrira des services de counseling adaptés : aux réalités culturelles, aux besoins des Inuits et aux traumatismes. Le travailleur de sensibilisation dirigera également des groupes de soutien par les pairs, spécifiques aux Inuits, avec les membres de la famille et donnera accès aux Aînés Inuits lorsqu'on demande une approche traditionnelle. Le travailleur servira de liaison et reliera les familles Inuits aux services appropriés offerts dans la communauté pour des soutiens à plus long terme. Le programme comprendra également des réunions de groupes de soutien, des réunions communautaires pour entendre des préoccupations ou de nouveaux enjeux et un dîner communautaire pour soutenir et honorer la force et la résilience de la communauté Inuit de Winnipeg.
