About the event

Low-income families with mental health and substance use challenges are more vulnerable to over-surveillance and over-reporting to child welfare agencies. This training will provide staff with a comprehensive learning experience that centers racial and health equity for families structurally vulnerable to intrusive intervention and family separation. To bridge the knowledge gap related to intergenerational consequences of substance use stigma and CS legislation and policies, our facilitators equip organizations with insights, tools, and resources to best support families dealing with CS or those “at risk” of involvement. We engage participants using evidence base research, storytelling, and case studies to equip them to effectively disrupt stigma, prevent systemic harm, and ensure the health, healing and well-being of intergenerational cycles of families. Throughout the session we guide participants in self-reflection on ways to sustain themselves and prioritize their mental health and wellbeing.

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory. Finally, we remain committed to continue to learn about the truth regarding Colonialism and residential schools in Canada, and will actively work towards reconciliation while advocating for our government to do so as well.
