  2. The little Nation with a BIG Vision! Progressive, Leadership “I Can” Philosophy

  3. Centre Background • Integrated the following programs; • TESI • Family Violence • AHRDA (no longer exists in our community: due to duplication of services) • Health • Income Assistance • Post Secondary • Band School • Drug and Alcohol Counselling

  4. Progressive Income Assistance Program • 8 years ago we had 58 clients • We changed the service delivery: all clients were required to do a needs assessment (Structure of Intellect) then they were required Develop an Action Plan: choosing Education Upgrading, Essential Skills, Training or Job Search • 2 employable people were left on Income Assistance • With Service Canada’s new model we lost our AHRDA on reserve and there has been a slight increase in the Income Assistance rate: 9 people currently on IA

  5. Philosophy Consistent with Martin Brokenleg’s Circle of Courage and Gordon Neufeld’s theories of Attachment.

  6. Client at the Centre:

  7. TWN Active Measures Project: To develop a data tracking system that can help us follow and report changes that Income Recipients achieve as a result of training programs and interventions; To develop accurate reporting mechanisms for Nominal Role, TESI, Family Violence, Aboriginal Training and Employment, Income Assistance: SDFSR, NCBR, Work plans: New Paths for Education, Parental Community Engagement, New Relationship Trust, School Professional Development, Teacher Recruitment and Retention, Special Education, Local Education Agreements, NADAP, Health Canada Reports, Housing, ASETS, etc… and to treat all clients in an integrated way.

  8. UNIFICATION • Social Information Management Applications • Unification-  a web site database • Unification, developed by the Sto:lo Nation, is an application developed to manage social information. It can be web-based or stand-alone and enables users to manage case files in the social program, from intake to producing a cheque. Reports are generated electronically from data collection in the application, reducing the reporting burden to funders and improving compliance. First nations using Unification have a better understanding of how well their programs are working. FNTC is hoping to acquire Unification for use by First Nations in British Columbia.

  9. Active Measures Part 2: To address client needs in a holistic way that addresses healthy lifestyles, healthy relationships, interpersonal relationships, effective parenting, addictions, emotional strength, anger management, traditional values, essential skills in the workplace, and celebrates success.

  10. Active Measures Part 3: To do a comprehensive assessment of the communities unemployed, employed and their education levels. To discover clients aspirations. To register all members on reserve to encourage them to consider their lifetime employment strategy To do an environmental scan or labour market analysis to determine available jobs, build on existing and new partnerships . To work with partners to forecast 3 year, 5 year and 10 year projections of labour requirements so that we can develop training programs to provide clients with employable skills that will be in demand.
