Equay-wuk (Women's Group) is conducting the Menonakachihewaywin Natamakewin (Better Care Giving Project), which is targeted at non-Native front-line caregivers in the Health and Wellness fields, and is intended to develop cultural competence, sensitivity, and awareness in these same caregivers.  Several online surveys have been prepared, to gather the input of as many Aboriginal persons in Northwestern Ontario as possible, at the same time as gathering the input of the caregivers themselves.

Surveys can be found on the Equay-wuk website, at the following URL [http://www.equaywuk.ca/ewg_bcgp/index.html] and by clicking on the 'Surveys' link in the page navigation bar. Both online emailer-type forms and print versions are available.

The Menonakachihewaywin Project will be developing a self-help manual for use by professional caregivers, based on current research activities and the content of surveys received.  This manual will be supported by a training curriculum and training workshop, also to be developed as part of this project.
