Description:
VACPC will provide training in cultural land-based tools designed to aid survivors of direct and complex inter-generational trauma, including the families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. They will learn to recognize and respond in innovative ways to reduce negative effects and gain tools to help them heal themselves and their families and respond more effectively to the situations that trigger them. Resources and materials will be provided to support the training and cultural activities. Due to the traumatic and intensive nature of the subject matter and of the healing work, wellness plans and activities will be built into the project staffing plan to ensure that staff supports are included. Activities will include teaching and practice sessions with families in a traditional circle learning about trauma and its effects, how to recognize the signs and how to respond more effectively using new techniques. The training sessions will directly benefit 80-120 people each
