Indigenous women and children, currently benefiting from support services, face potential discontinuation of their counseling program.
The Aboriginal Counseling Services Association of Alberta (ACSA) is appealing to the community for support as the Indigenous women and children support program "Circle K" is at risk of closure. The Government of Alberta's Ministry of Children's Services has cut the program's funding, leaving it in a precarious position.
The Circle K offers a unique and culturally specific approach to support, providing essential help to Indigenous women and children fleeing violence. This program offers culturally safe counseling and includes healing circles, which are vital for the recovery and well-being of survivors.
The ACSA needs to raise $135,000 within 60 days to prevent the program's closure. However, due to limited visibility, donations to save the Circle K program have not been explicitly named in search results. Donations can be made online to support counseling sessions, group healing events, monthly food supplies for a family, or multiple counseling sessions for a mother and child through the respective program's official channels or affiliated NGOs.
A $50 donation provides a mother and child an apple support session, while a $700 donation funds a month's worth of food for a family. A more substantial donation of $7,000 provides a mother and a child 16 counseling sessions. Alternatively, a $250 donation funds a group healing session, which is crucial for the healing process of multiple individuals.
The ACSA's fundraising target is now $150,000 to keep all services available. It is important to note that families are still enrolled in the Circle K program and rely on its services to rebuild their lives.
The community's support is crucial in keeping this essential program running. Donations can be made online to ensure the Circle K continues to provide a safe haven for Indigenous women and children in need.
