Family Well-Being ProgramDoodem Mino Bemaadzing Nokiiwin Naakingewin
An early intervention program grounded in Anishinabek culture, values, language, and traditions.
Programming designed to improve the outcomes and opportunities for children and youth by encouraging the use of wholistic, community-driven approaches that help keep our children connected to their families, communities, and culture.
Minimize the risk of involvement in child welfare through:
- Support;
- Culturally-based resources;
- Capacity-building training.
FWB Advisory Group
The Family Well-Being (FWB) Advisory Group has been successfully assembled. The Group is comprised of two Family Well-Being Workers from each of the four regions of the Anishinabek Nation. Each member of the Group helps to ensure the FWB Program has input from those operating on the frontlines. Their guidance informs training and how the Program can best support Anishinabek communities. As of September 2024, the Group meets on the third Monday of each month.
