CONNECTIONS is newsletter for Foster and Kinship Caregivers that shares cultural resources and activities for caregivers of Indigenous, Metis & Inuit children and youth and we hope the kids and teens enjoy it as well! Some of you will be less familiar with cultural teachings than others, but there’s always something new to learn and what better way to experience it then by sharing time learning together with the kids you care
If you are a supervisor or service provider offering kinship/foster/group care, don’t forget to remind the caregivers that CONNECTIONS is here to assist them in their efforts to ensure Indigenous, Metis & Inuit children and youth are learning about their traditions and culture while in care. Enjoy and share! SUBSCRIBE HERE
