Consulting

Indigenous Youth Services is committed to improving the quality of care provided to Indigenous youth across various child care agencies. We understand that cultural responsiveness is essential in providing effective care to Indigenous youth and that a lack of understanding or respect for Indigenous culture can have negative impacts on their mental health and overall well-being.

To address this issue, we offer our Agency Consulting program, which provides education and training to child care agencies on understanding and respecting Indigenous culture. Our program is designed to promote cultural responsiveness and to support agencies in providing care that is respectful, compassionate, and effective.

Our team of experts works closely with child care agencies to assess their current level of cultural competency and develop tailored training programs to address any gaps in knowledge or understanding. We provide guidance on evidence-based practices for working with Indigenous youth and their families, including strategies for building relationships, communicating effectively, and incorporating cultural practices into care plans.

Our Agency Consulting program emphasizes the importance of involving Indigenous communities and Elders in the care of Indigenous youth. We work closely with agencies to develop partnerships with Indigenous communities and to build relationships with Elders who can provide valuable insights and guidance on cultural practices and customs.

By providing education and training on cultural responsiveness, our Agency Consulting program is helping child care agencies to better understand and respect Indigenous culture. This is critical in ensuring that Indigenous youth receive the care and support they need to thrive. We are proud to be at the forefront of this essential work and remain committed to improving the quality of care provided to Indigenous youth across the country.
