Crisis Response Program

Nodin’s Crisis Response Program (CRP) provides support to First Nations communities impacted by traumatic incidents and associated crises. The CRP receives information on critical incidents and community needs/concerns, collaborates with communities/other partners to formulate a plan, supports localized strategies, and coordinates a response by mobilizing resources as requested.

Team members include a Supervisor, Coordinator(s), Program Assistant, contractual Counsellors and/or Cultural Workers, and volunteer non-clinical crisis teams mobilized from neighboring communities.

Crisis Workers (counsellors or cultural workers): supports offered include counselling, emotional support, debriefing, cultural support, and provide options for longer-term recovery and healing. Please note that counsellors are able to provide different services than cultural workers.

Crisis Volunteer Teams (non-clinical): another option is to dispatch volunteer non-clinical crisis teams formed by neighbouring communities and/or provide per diem support to volunteer teams who decide to establish their own volunteer team.

If a community requires support from Nodin’s Crisis Response Program following a tragic incident/associated crisis in-community, please contact the Crisis Response Program.
