The program has been specifically designed to encourage men and boys of our community to speak out against all forms of violence and abuse towards Indigenous women.

Kizhaay Anishinaabe Niin Program provides cultural specific healing for men who abuse and are ready to take responsibilities for their action.

The Kizhaay worker also facilitates The Domestic Abuse Intervention Program (DAIP), provides Peer Counseling, Peer Group Support, Men’s Support Circle, Cultural Teachings, Workshops Involving teen’s activities and Referrals.

Our Goals & Objectives:

  • To provide education and support for men and boys to address issues of violence against women.
  • To re-establish traditional responsibilities by acknowledging that our teachings have never tolerated violence and abuse towards women.
  • To inspire men and boys to engage other men to get involved and stop the abuse.
  • To offer a safe, secure and healthy environment where men can feel confident to express themselves in a positive manner.
  • To educate on traditional roles and responsibilities, increase cultural pride and promote healthy role modeling in and around our communities.
