The team at I-CAARE has been developing culturally safe practice tools in partnership with North East Behavioural Supports Ontario. To learn more about the development of these practice tools, explore Guidelines to PIECES of my Relationships and A Quick Guide to... Approach. 

 

Please note that the tools will be piloted at a later date and may be updated based on those results. If you have questions, or wish to inquire about training opportunities, please contact us

​

As always, we hold a deep appreciation and regard for the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging Team 20 Community Advisory Council, in particular expert Anishinaabemwin speakers, for guiding this work and sharing so much with us. The research team would like to highlight the incredibly generous contributions of the focus group participants who shaped these practice tools. This work was also made possible by many support staff, in particular Jody Tverdal and Rhonda Trudeau, who provided administrative and logistical support, and Robyn Rowe, whose design vision contributed to the look and feel of A Quick Guide to... Approach. Chi-Miigwetch!
