Cultural and Indigenous Programming

Provided by YWCA Metro Vancouver

Supports Indigenous culture by facilitating and creating safe spaces for the community to gather, learn from each other, share knowledge and build community.
The following programs are offered:
  • Elder in Residence: The Elder in Residence provides one-to-one or group support for families. The Elder’s presence within the community enriches Indigenous perspectives, knowledge, approaches to community support, healing and wellness. She also supports those disconnected from their families and those who have recently reunited to culturally, spiritually, emotionally or physically reconnect with their Indigeneity.
  • Traditional Knowledge Keepers Group: A program for Knowledge Keepers, Elders and Seniors to create connections with and learn from other moms and women from different generations. Together, everyone participates in fun, hands-on cultural activities and traditional arts and crafts. Participants learn about health and wellness, traditional foods and herbs and plants for healing. A cultural meal is enjoyed at each session.
  • AIDP Consultants: The Aboriginal Infant Development Program worker offers 1:1 home visits and/or office visits to provide family support. She also administers ASQ (Ages and Stages Questionnaire) Developmental Survey and provides support with activity planning and goal setting. She will provide parenting and infant development information, referrals to health, social and community services and how to access other YWCA programs and services.
  • Books, Bags and Babies: Books, Bags and Babies is an early literacy program that welcomes both parents and children. It incorporates Indigenous storytelling, crafts and cultural teachings to encourage early childhood literacy and strengthen family bonds.
