This is a 2-hour province-wide town hall to seek community input for Health Canada's Substance Use and Addictions Program grant that is due November 22nd, 2023.<\/p>\n
For this 2-hour session, we will ask questions on what funding priority we should pursue and project ideas directly from Community members.<\/p>\n
There are 4 funding priorities we could do:<\/p>\n
Funding priority #1<\/strong> - Supporting and enhancing the role of People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE) within organizations that address substance use across the comprehensive continuum of care<\/li>\n
Funding priority #2<\/strong> - Services and programs that target post-treatment aftercare and transition back into the community<\/li>\n
Funding priority #3<\/strong> - Addressing alcohol use disorder<\/li>\n
Funding Priority #4<\/strong> - Addressing adult tobacco cessation<\/li>\n<\/ul>
\nOur hope after the 2-hour town hall is to determine which funding priority to pursue, what are the service gaps, and what is needed in our communities in regard to substance use and addiction.<\/p>\n

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual healthcare has increased significantly. With a grant obtained from Healthcare Excellence Canada, First Nations Health Authority, Fraser Health, and\u00a0M\u00e9tis\u00a0Nation British Columbia (MNBC)\u00a0are gathering community data and feedback on Indigenous Cultural Safety in virtual care.<\/p>\n
Survey responses will be one component in giving Fraser-Salish First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis patients a chance to inform the care frameworks that will be used to provide them with safe and effective virtual care.
\n\u00a0
\nThis work is funded by Healthcare Excellence Canada as part of their Partnering on Appropriate Virtual Care initiative.\u00a0

What is Cultural Safety?\u00a0<\/b>
\nIndigenous cultural safety\u00a0is the process of making spaces, services and organizations safer and more equitable for Indigenous Peoples by considering current and historical colonial impact and seeking to eliminate structural racism and discrimination.<\/p>\n
What is Cultural Wellness?<\/b>
\nCultural wellness is about creating a space in which M\u00e9tis can be themselves and fully express their culture, without discrimination.\u00a0At MNBC \"we have shifted the focus from the term cultural safety to cultural wellness, in\u00a0recognition that the term safety can cause triggers for people who have often felt unsafe because\u00a0of oppression of their identity. The term cultural wellness conveys a feeling of strength and\u00a0empowerment. It\u2019s an invitation to contribute to a community that promotes wellness for all, and it\u00a0resonates with concepts of healing and self-care.\u00a0MNBC has developed the following description of what cultural wellness means to M\u00e9tis people and how the general public can support cultural wellness. This statement was based on input from over 100 M\u00e9tis Elders\u00a0and Youth:<\/p>\n
Cultural wellness is a sense of belonging and pride we feel when we are connected to our M\u00e9tis families, communities, traditions and the land. It feels like home. We express cultural wellness by honouring the strength, determination, and traditions of our ancestors. We do this by telling our stories, using the Michif language, being on the land, and practicing and passing on traditions such as our music, jigging and art. M\u00e9tis culture is a beautiful continuation of the strength and resiliency of our ancestors, the joy of family connection and the passing on of the
\nteachings and traditions of our Elders to future generations. Cultural wellness fosters balance in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health for our M\u00e9tis individuals, families and Communities. Embracing M\u00e9tis heritage and culture honours each M\u00e9tis person\u2019s unique story and our distinct identity as M\u00e9tis people in B.C. today.\" (MNBC, 2021, Kaa-Wiichihitoyaahk)<\/p>\n
In our working group we aim to capture M\u00e9tis voices and make the distinction between our communities\u2019 experiences and those of other Indigenous groups.<\/p>\n

B.C.\u2019s Ministry of Attorney General (the Ministry) is pleased to invite M\u00e9tis People with lived experience in topics related to families to participate in an upcoming regional dialogue session on the modernization of the Family Law Act. The topics of the discussion will be:<\/p>\n
Parents\u2019 and guardians\u2019 responsibilities for making decisions about a child and spending time with a child<\/li>\n
Protection from family violence<\/li>\n
Parenting assessments and reports on the needs and views of a child<\/li>\n<\/ul>
More About the Dialogue Session and the Family Law Act Modernization project<\/h3>\n
The session is an early step in efforts to make the Family Law Act work better for M\u00e9tis People. By hearing individual and collective stories and perspectives, the Ministry hopes that the session will help to identify issues and improve understanding about the ways in which families and communities are addressing family matters within, but also outside of, the current system.<\/p>\n
We recognize the personal nature of the subject matter. The Ministry is working with Mahihkan Management and M\u00e9tis Nation British Columbia to create a safe and respectful environment. The session will be led by an Indigenous Facilitator.<\/p>\n
The session will be in person and limited to small groups of individuals with lived experience.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
How to Register<\/h3>\n
Register<\/a><\/p>\n
Those with lived experience can register via the retister button above included above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who Should Attend?<\/h3>\n
M\u00e9tis People with lived experience relating to parents\u2019 and guardians\u2019 responsibilities making decisions about and spending time with a child, protection from family violence, and parenting assessments and reports on the needs and views of a child are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n
The session will provide an opportunity to share experiences and discuss questions about parenting and caring for a child when the child\u2019s parents are not together, including how to involve the child\u2019s views in decision making. The session will also include discussion about family violence and protection orders.<\/p>\n
We are aware of the ongoing engagement with Indigenous Peoples, including M\u00e9tis People on the Child Family and Community Services Act about child protection. That is not the subject of these dialogue sessions, however we understand there may well be many linkages with that subject and community members\u2019 lived experiences and perspectives on the family law topics that will be discussed in these sessions.<\/p>\n

We have heard from our M\u00e9tis ECE\u2019s, and we recognize there are lack of supports in the field for children who require extra supports to fully participate in Early Years Programming.\u00a0This conference will focus on supporting children with diverse abilities through a M\u00e9tis lens, as well connecting learning to nature and natural elements.<\/p>\n
