Indigenous Women’s Healing Centre- Case Work

Interns will be assisting current staff in creating the Summer Schedule for Programming for the children who live with their mothers at the IWHC, which will begin once they are done school at the end of June. Once the Summer Programming Schedule is approved, interns will help staff implement the summer programming with the women and children.
As well, I as an Intern intend to shadow and learn Case Management skills (Intake Process and learning the social history and needs of the potential incoming participant). Other Case Management skill I would like to learn and practice are the steps to creating a case consult prep and presentation, which is given to the Board of Directors and Staff to determine whether a woman is able to be taken on as a participant in the program. Lastly, once comfortable, Interns can take on roles of co-facilitating day programming to the women, such as cooking lessons or seminars on self-confidence. Throughout this I will be using qualitative, participatory research skills to interact with cleints in the programs and then developing case studies to help suoort the work of the IWHC
