MINO PIMATISI8IN INITIATIVE
– ABORIGINAL WELL-BEING AND HEALTH

Picture
An innovative response to renew and increase the provision of health care and social services, to create the well-being and improve the health and living conditions of the urban Aboriginal community.

The Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue and the Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre join forces to build a renewed frontline offer of health care and social services for the Aboriginal population. A provision of services based on:
  • Approaches and practices rooted in Aboriginal knowledge, traditions, identity, culture and values
  • A potential model to be implemented in other sectors 
The Mino Pimatisi8in initiative will contribute to:
  • Position Aboriginal people as the main actors of this new array of services
  • Restore the relationship and improve the trust between Aboriginal people and the Réseau québécois de la santé et des services sociaux
  • Reduce the gaps between Aboriginal people and Canadians regarding health and social services
 
This initiative aims to consolidate the provision of frontline health care and social services, combined with services related to traditional healing.

EDUCATION STRATEGY

The Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre is presently working at improving and consolidating its Aboriginal strategy in education and developing a detailed action plan. The Friendship Centre’s renewed education strategy will allow to increase the scope and efficiency of the actions and will impact preschool children, primary, secondary and post-secondary students, as well as their families. 

YOUTH STRATEGY

The Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre is working on a youth strategy to promote social involvement and commitment as well as citizenship and leadership among Val-d’Or’s urban Aboriginal boys and girls. To achieve this, the Friendship Centre will set out to raise awareness, involve and rally urban Aboriginal youth around the issue of civic participation through youth services and activities which will be defined, developed and implemented by the youth themselves. ​
