I strongly believe that youth are very sacred, and I plan on using every possible resource to help them become the integral pieces of society that our culture needs. Laura Major - CIC Ext. 206
I am the Child in Care worker for Big Island First Nation and I began my position here on August 6, 2019. My background for the last 14 years is in Child Welfare and I previously worked as a Child in Care Worker with Big Grassy CCP before coming to Big Island CCP. Family Preservation came in to affect in June 2017 when Weechi-it-te-win Family Services did an Agency Needs Assessment and did consult with our 10 First Nations Community Care Programs. My role as Family Preservation Worker is to work with the families that require supports to maintain and preserve that family unit when they are going through crisis in their lives, to prevent children from coming into care with whatever means needed to assist and help prevent that. A few ways to accomplish this may be: Meeting with the parents/families, listening to them and identify where they need supports. Some ways may include referring to and/or attending counselling, helping with Respite when they are feeling overwhelmed or need a break. Providing homemakers if needed. It also may require referring them to treatment if needed. We can also assist in providing Cultural services if they so wish to go that route. Whether it may be through healing ceremonies, family circles, sweats etc. Family Preservation works in helping to keep families together by preventing breakdown, separation or disconnection with family systems through strengthening, supporting and assisting families in ways that work for them.

I graduated with honors from the Social Service Worker program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay. After graduation I worked in various agencies such as an Aboriginal Head Start in Edmonton and the Mètis Nation of Ontario in Fort Frances.

I am happy to be a part of the CCP team in Big Island where I will be assisting the Protection and Preservation Workers with their daily tasks to ensure the children and families receive the best care possible. I will also assist to complete home visits, maintain the office documentation and assist with medical transportation when needed. I look forward to meeting everyone in the community.
