In partnership with North Hastings Children’s Services, Algonquin Inòdewiziwin Child and Family EarlyON Centre and in recognition of Indigenous History Month, we are pleased to offer virtual Talking Circle.
During these trying times, parents are in need of a special time to talk. This online talking circle is for that need to share. We will start with a quick introduction of oneself. After that everyone will have a chance to speak in turn respecting each other’s time to speak. We can also pass our time to speak and just listen. When someone is speaking, it is their time to speak from the heart on the subject of how we can support each other during this pandemic. This will be a good experience for everyone because when all voices are heard in an attentive respectful way people open up. The interaction and learning atmosphere from this circle will guide us at NHCS to better assist families online during the stay home and self isolate period. These communications especially if personal should stay confidential and remain in the circle
