Native Women’s Association (NWAC)
You are invited to participate in this extraordinary opportunity to share your thoughts on improving the future of Aboriginal Women’s Health
What if…
• Aboriginal women played a greater role in Aboriginal women’s health?
• Aboriginal women’s health research was community driven?
• Health equity was achieved between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women?
The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is looking to create an “Aboriginal Women Health Research Centre “. This FREE webinar will be a unique opportunity for you to share your thoughts on improving Aboriginal women’s health through the creation of more meaningful and participatory research. If you cannot attend the webinar, you can still register as a participant and gain free access to the video recording of the discussion. You will also still have the ability to share your thoughts or to ask questions and we will get you answers!

Grief and the conflicting emotions caused by loss are cumulative and most often have a cumulatively negative effect on our ability to participate in life. The primary goal of Edu-Therapy™ is to give people a solution to the pain, and focus on a solution-oriented
process to rediscover their ability to fully experience and participate in their lives. Edu-Therapy™ effectively eliminates the griever’s sense of isolation, by actively engaging them in emotionally helpful and liberating exercises. The Grief Edu-Therapy Certification is
a unique training program that teaches the specific tools to eliminate the emotional pain caused by loss of any type. For over 35 years, the care giving team at Edu-Therapy Solutions have been helping grievers rid themselves of the conflicting emotions and the often overwhelming pain as the result of cumulative unresolved losses. Our commitment to research and evidence-based solutions goes far beyond the short term “feel good” workshops, giving participants the ability to help themselves and help their community.
You will learn:
- Dysfunctional ways people mishandle grief and its intergenerational effect on Communities
- Emotional damage of rationalization and intellectualization
- Why Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance Models are the wrong approach for grievers
- Learn proper techniques for identifying and resolving loss and relationship conflicts
- Edu-Therapy™ Process formats for individual and group work
- How to expand your caregiving agency using the Edu-Therapy™ Process
- How to resolve cumulative unresolved issues such as PTS and the Residential School Experience, abuse and trauma
