Description (French)
Le projet « Entraide » sera axé sur la guérison individuelle, le traumatisme collectif, la prévention du crime et la sensibilisation à la sécurité. Les activités du projet créeront des occasions de renforcer les capacités grâce à la formation et à l’échange de connaissances. Les activités visant à appuyer la résurgence culturelle et cérémoniale, avec comme objectif de renforcer les connaissances et les enseignements culturels, renforceront le sentiment d’appartenance à la collectivité et les activités prosociales. Des activités ciblées, dont des cercles de la parole, des cérémonies, des activités sur le territoire et des mesures de soutien thérapeutique seront également créés pour appuyer la santé mentale et le bien être. La collectivité sera davantage mobilisée et il y aura un plus grand nombre de mesures de soutien pour le bien être et la santé mentale. Les activités comprennent un arbre de guérison axé sur les apprentissages culturels ainsi que la compréhension des répercussions de l’identité, de l’appartenance et des traditions matriarcales.
