Forging and Nurturing Partnerships
The National Native Addictions Partnership Foundation strongly believes that the progress of reconstruction, renewal, healing progressing in Aboriginal communities has reached a promissing juncture, and that the efforts of all Aboriginal people, in Canada as well as elsewhere in the world will make this reclaiming and reconnection to cultural strengths, purpose and place on earth a reality.
The Board, the staff, the stakeholders of the Foundation recognize that today, more than ever, the common dreams of Aboriginal People need to be nurtured within a strong, evergrowing circle of individuals, families, communities, organizations who each are wiling to share their common vision,values and their respective wisdom, expertise and life experience.
The mandate of the Foundation is to steer the First Nations and Inuit Addictions System towards a wholistic culturally-relevant seamless addictions services (that is driven by the community up).
- To serve as a collective national voice
- To facilitate, support, and recognize the expertise and efforts of First Nations/Inuit in their efforts to address addictions and related issues.
- To promote excellence in all areas (research, best-practices, evidence-base etc.) of the First Nations addictions system and to overcome the barriers.
Two kinds of Partnerships
This mandate requires two kinds of partnerships: one, the most important for NNAPF is our partnership with the grassroots, those workers directly involved with individuals, families and communities who tell us what they need to change, to learn, to share. Our community and regional structure enables their voices to be heard and acted upon at national level.
Each year, we also seek, forge and nurture partnership with like-minded or similarly mandated organizations, here in Canada and elsewhere in the Aboriginal World. In the many cases, these partnerships are formalized through Memorandum of understanding.
