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.
