Indigenous Support navigators
Blackfoot Resource Hub
Indigenous Support Navigators (ISN) see the impact of intergenerational trauma on the community and are dedicated in supporting Indigenous Peoples through family, community and cultural support. The Indigenous Support Navigators help Indigenous Peoples in Southern Alberta:
Access and connect with Indigenous specific resources and support
Navigate and access community, health, and social resources (i.e. financial benefits/assistance applications, housing applications, etc.)
Reconnect with spiritual/cultural supports
Collaborate with other Indigenous serving agencies, family, and natural supports to provide integrated services for Indigenous Peoples
Provide appropriate referrals that are tailored to Indigenous Peoples and case consultation when necessary
Indigenous Priority Population & Cultural Safety training
Indigenous Support Navigators provide specific training and educational opportunities to community organizations and System Navigators to ensure that all members of our system can support Indigenous individuals in a culturally safe and trauma informed way.
These trainings are available quarterly, and upcoming dates are available on the Calendar of Events
