The FG Foundation provided us the opportunity to create a program to deliver services of trauma informed healing, employability training, Metis culture and identity strengthening activities. Our Metis Women’s Bridging program offered weekly professional trauma counselling to survivors and family members and a series of workshops. Workshops included traditional meal preparation, medicine preparation and Métis art teachings and creation. Participants are now able to connect to a positive support system for themselves and their families while continuing to address and reduce isolation, and maintain connections to Métis culture, language and community.  They can also actively teach the next generation and increase cultural engagement at both the family and community-level.
