This free training is being provided by Trails Crossing Friendship Centre for those who work primarily on the front line with Aboriginal families and care givers. The Parent-Child Mother Goose is not new but this modified version is, and has been proven to be extremely effective and successful in reaching target families on and off reserve. With added supports, improved access and intensive outreach strategies, those who the deliver program will help parents to better understand their roles as their child’s first teacher and help our organization assess where more work needs to be done by Trails Crossing Friendship Centre in reaching our community.
The ABORIGINAL P-CMG Training Program will provide tools and templates for curriculum development, planning, budgetting and reporting. Participants will go home with tool kits and a collection of culturally relevent resources that they can use to develop their own programs in their communities. For anyone who has delivered the P-CMG program, this will be a good refresher as we will review old material, practice our storytelling skills and create a collection of new songs and rhymes based on local first languages.
With this training Trails Crossing Friendship Centre aims to improve the lives of our Aboriginal residents by INCREASING ACCESS TO culturally relevant programs that strengthen the ties between Aboriginal families and community. Evaluative data, both quantitative and qualitative related to the effficacy of the program will be used for the development of future projects by Trails Crossing Friendship Centre.
