Community Education
Ag gwa deh yę́:s dah nih (Sounds like ag gwa day yes dah nih)
Seneca word meaning “We Are Teaching Them”
The Community Education Program staff is available to inform the community of Ganǫhkwásra’ programs and services, the dynamics of family violence and related topics in a culturally sensitive manner. This is achieved through facility tours, presentations, workshops, distribution of resource materials, brochures and newsletters.
Please call at least one month in advance for presentation requests.
Onkwehonwe (First Nations) Cultural Sensitivity Presentations
The Cultural Sensitivity presentations offered by Ganǫhkwásra’ Family Assault Support Services are designed to provide the mainstream community with an awareness of the history of family violence from an Onkwehonwe (First Nations) perspective as well as to promote an appreciation for Onkwehonwe culture. Providing a basis for understanding the unique challenges faced by Onkwehonwe people will assist individuals and organizations to work more sensitively with Onkwehonwe people.
