Tobique Wellness Centre Wolastoqewiyik Healing Lodge, Tobique First Nation
This grant enables the development of a program to prevent violence and abuse against pre-teen and teen girls in the Tobique First Nation community. Initiated by the Wolastoqewiyik Healing Lodge, the program will combine established prevention tools for Indigenous youth, Maliseet cultural teaching (Medicine Wheel), and counselling interventions. It aims to empower girls to take control of their lives, reduce their risk of violence and abuse, and to recognize signs and symptoms of abuse. It will also encourage teen girls in the community to express themselves and take steps toward confidence and independence.
Grant amount: $20,000
