The Saskatchewan First Nations Family and Community Institute Inc. (commonly referred to as SFNFCI or the Institute) is a non-profit organization located on Treaty 6 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We provide training, support and resources to Saskatchewan First Nations Child and Family organizations who serve children, youth, and families. We also conduct and share research on various topics and issues that affect our First Nations community service providers.
Culturally Appropriate - Trauma Informed - Emotionally Sensitive
Our training and support services, research activities, and other capacity building projects are:
- Culturally Appropriate: Awareness, understanding, and responsiveness to the beliefs, values, customs, and institutions (family, etc.) are incorporated into our training materials and resources.
- Trauma Informed: When creating our training materials, we anticipate how trauma survivors may respond to our words and actions and strive to not cause further harm. We believe in helping to create a world that can foster growth, resiliency, and healing from trauma as well.
- Emotionally Sensitive: Ensuring our training materials will not cause harm to those who are emotionally sensitive, experience emotions more intensely than others, is a high priority for SFNFCI.
