SESSION INFO: « Back to all events
November 2021 is National Indigenous Disability Awareness month and the Virtual Learning Series will feature Family-centered practice from the perspective of Aboriginal infant and child development programs.
This one-hour virtual session will introduce participants to the core principles and foundational ideas of family-centered practice, as applied by Aboriginal Infant Development programs and Aboriginal Supported Child Development programs. Participants will learn what is cultural safety for Indigenous families, how to create safe spaces, and the importance of home visiting in supporting healthy child development.
The speakers will address how collaborations and coordination of services with mainstream programs is critical to removing barriers for Indigenous families. Coming from a perspective of inclusion that recognizes each child for their gifts, the speakers will share their expertise and provide examples of best practices for family-centered practice in early childhood and beyond.
This session is particularly relevant to staff in child development centres, infant development program and supported childcare development program consultants, social workers, service providers, and family support workers.
