To succeed in this role, you will have an excellent understanding of the challenges faced by our Indigenous clients, including experience supporting individuals who face multiple barriers such as substance use, mental health concerns, low income, and the negative impacts of colonialism and racism. You must be able to provide teachings, knowledge of Indigenous and urban Indigenous culture, traditions, and history as a way of supporting resident’s connection to their culture and community. Experience helping clients navigate issues of racism that may occur at all levels of engagement; from one’s own colleagues and from outside organizations.
