Building Healthy Support Networks – This webinar will focus on exploring different strategies for building networks of support in your life or how you can support your community members to develop their networks. Getting consistent well rounded support can be a tricky thing to build, especially living in a western world where values like Individualism, competition and general avoidance to emotion are so prevalent. We will look at a variety of different techniques and approaches one can weave together, so each unique individual can find their own holistic support system.
- Explore a variety of techniques & strategies
- Build a system that works for you individually and/or for your communities
- Increase awareness about the kinds of support you or your communities may be needing
- Create a network that is sustainable and offers consistent support

| *IndigenEYEZ blends land-based learning with the arts and best practices in community-building. Their approach—the Creative Community Model—is being used around the world. It has been refined over the past two decades by PYE Global (www.PYEGlobal.org), an organization that generously shares its knowledge with many partners. IndigenEYEZ has adapted this approach especially for First Nations, whose participants report that these workshops are both inspiring and effective. They say that IndigenEYEZ helps them make meaningful improvements to how they deliver existing programs, and report renewed energy, improved program design, and increased capacity to engage youth at a deeper level. |
