The Aboriginal Resources Department (ARD) provides cultural awareness and services to Hull’s clients and staff in all programs and departments.
ARD offers support, training, resources and spiritual experiences to everyone interested in learning the history and cultural traditions of aboriginal people.
Our department has helped many kids, youth, adults and families regain a sense of balance through understanding and awareness of aboriginal heritage and how it impacts them.
The Aboriginal Resources Department is unique in that it carries three mandates:
- To give cultural support for all aboriginal youth, adults and families currently receiving services at Hull as part of their overall needs.
- To provide educational instruction to all Hull staff through our Aboriginal Awareness Training.
- To provide cultural support to all Aboriginal staff working at Hull through our Aboriginal Voices Committee..
ARD offers a series of training programs that explore Aboriginal culture and history building awareness and understanding for both Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people.
Clients and staff are invited to attend a monthly traditional sweat lodge that assists education and spiritual development as well as an annual Pow wow that promotes various traditions within aboriginal communities.
Our goal is to work with all aboriginal clients and their families where possible and to educate staff to provide a holistic compliment to individual needs based upon cultural respect.
