We Are Indigenous: Big Worries/Fears, Parent & Caregiver Support Program
Offers a free, virtual parent and caregiver coaching program to support First Nations, Métis and Inuit families across BC, whose children are struggling with the experience of big worries and fears, or what the Western worldview calls anxiety.
The program is guided by traditional knowledge from Indigenous communities and includes short online videos and scheduled telephone coaching sessions to provide families with tools to discuss what they are already doing, and to learn new practices and how to use these practices with their children.
