Welcoming Fire Program
Indigenous program
We are supporting Indigenous women on their journey toward healing and stability.
Through the Welcoming Fire Program, our Outreach Worker assists past clients of the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, self-referred clients, and clients referred by other community resources.
Program Objectives
Provide follow-up services for Indigenous women who are at risk of becoming homeless
Provide bi-weekly workshops on various topics
Provide traditional First Nations healing
Offer culturally sensitive tools which the client can use in order to come to terms with the root of their problems and methods on how to provide healthy emotional stability in their lives and in their families
These services are intended for Indigenous peoples
The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
