Parent Mentor

(The Path of Life)
We know that anyone serving as a parent must find healing and connection for themselves in order to fulfill their role. This is why the parent mentor program specifically uses relationship building with peers and elders to support anyone who is parenting. Together, families can take on a stronger role as a child’s first teacher.
Empowerment through Healing
Some of the many practices that are used to support parents include:
- Gathering and preparing traditional medicines
- Creating cultural crafts to use as teaching tools in the home
- Weekly groups, as well as one-on-one sessions
- Life coaching and grounding techniques
