TRC Calls to Action: #5




Legacy
Child Welfare

5. We call upon the federal, provincial, territorial, and Aboriginal governments to develop culturally appropriate parenting programs for Aboriginal families.

 I love this one! I think all parents should have access to - but more importantly, actually use - parenting programs; I'm convinced better parenting is a solution to a lot of social issues in general, but I won't get into that now...
The idea in this Call is clear: to make sure Indigenous folks have the resources they need to bring kids up in the best possible environment for them, thereby continuing to honour and respect cultural practices and avoiding taking children away from their families to be placed in care.
I wonder how we're doing with this one...
