Supporting Families with Parental Mental Illness and/or Addiction: Indigenous Perspectives Sponsored by the BC Schizophrenia Society with the support of the Ministry for Children and Family Development
Land Acknowledgement Today, particularly given the topic for discussion , we acknowledge that we live on the unceded land of the Stolo and Coast Salish peoples. Many of us attending are settlers or the descents of settlers. We acknowledge the trauma and injustice, the brutal harm wrought on Indigenous families by the residential school system, and the cultural genocide brought to the Indigenous peoples through the actions of our forebearers, the consequences of which are with us today. May this consciousness call us all towards respectful relations that lead to reconciliation and healing. .
To strengthen the system of mental health and addiction care so that family centered care is provided effectively and regularly as client centered care. Purpose
To design and implement community based cross sector training to raise awareness and increase skills in supporting families with parental mental illness and addiction.
