COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

Presentations & Workshops.

IRSSS offers educational presentations and workshops to community groups, businesses, schools, and organizations seeking to learn from our knowledgeable staff and Elders. These sessions are flexible in content and length, with 90 minutes being ideal. Presentations can be conducted either online (via platforms like MS Teams or Zoom) or in-person (schedule permitting, within BC). We cover topics such as:

⟡ History & Impacts of Residential Schools in Canada
⟡ Cultural Agility Over Cultural Competency
⟡ Understanding Intergenerational Trauma & Healing
⟡ Emotional Intelligence
⟡ And more

These sessions may also include personal testimonies from Indian Residential School Survivors or intergenerational Survivors (if available). All sessions deal with emotionally sensitive material, but are informative and impactful.
