by Laurie Lubin M. Gottfriedson.

This course introduces students to several theoretical perspectives used in the counseling process. Students examine practice concepts such as problem-solving, goal setting, self-awareness, and intervention methods. An Aboriginal perspective citing "ways of knowing" is explored as a mechanism in problem identification. Students compare and contrast theories and counseling applications with the traditional teaching of the medicine wheel as conceptual frameworks within the counseling process.

How does intersectionality relate to aop?

With intersectionality someone may face oppression due to a number of things. They could be not only female, but Indigenous and gay as well. This can cause oppression in a number of ways, compared to someone who is a white heterosexual male. With AOP it is looking at the different social constructs that cause the oppression. This could be the education system, police force, work place or health care. It is in these places that the persons sexual orientation, race or appearance, religion or age may bring them oppression. In any helping field there must be anti-oppression practice so as to make sure the client is getting all the needed support in all these aspects.

Why care about poverty?

Many people that live below the poverty line face stereotypes. For example many reserves still live without clean water and adequate housing. Indigenous people are labeled as lazy and dirty but yet the basic needs are not being met. How can a people thrive if they do not have the basic needs to survive? The systematic discrimination continues on for many Indigenous people. It is not a thing of the past but it is current issues. There is policies within structures that create barriers and leaves many with ongoing oppression. Policies that need to change, which is why we need to have an anti-oppressive practice. There is historical issues but also current issues that lead up to such things as poverty.

Should aop workers promote peace and non-violence?

Yes as a social worker we should be thinking about what can promote peace and non- violence. As we will work on a personal level with people but we should be thinking about the macro and mezo levels as well. The overall reasons for the oppression and discord, and what brought that person to where they are at. With a focus of how can there be a collaboration to promote peace and non-violence. As we learned, violence comes in many forms, not just physical, so it is looking at the cause of this violence and what can be done to create peace in that aspect for the person, or people.

Welp my fellow friends..I was drama..I had a hard time getting into this moodle:

April 14, 2020: I sent email to Chelsea Vaughan letting her know I had a hard time getting into Moodle: she sent me back Hi Janice, your student id is: 000(My student number)

Below are the links both from our website, regarding logging in.

https://www.nvit.ca/mynvitlogoninstructions.htm

https://moodle.nvit.ca/

· With no further instructions

Then, she sent me these instructions:

Accessing myNVIT

In internet browsers, Internet Explorer or Firefox, enter: mynvit.ca (the myNVIT portal address will be available to you on or off campus at the same URL and a link will be available on the NVIT website under the Employees button). A logon window will appear.

Your username is: nvit.ca\ followed by a lower case n and your 7 digit student number (e.g. Colleague ID 5907 has a username of nvit.ca\n0005907).

Your password has been reset to your birthday in the following format: DDMonYYYY. For example if your birthdate is November 8, 1987 your password is reset to 08Nov1987. Note that the first letter of the month is capitalized and the month is abbreviated to three digits.

2. Username ???? nvit.ca\n000(MY STUDENT NUMBER Password: DDMONYEAR

He then responds:

What may hold me back on reaching my goal

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 06:42:57 GMT

by Cassandra Joseph.

I don't really think I have anything that's holding me back from reaching my goal, more so something that would slow me down from reaching my goal. My kids always get sick! Or they pass it back and forth, and I need to be home with them. Being home and not making it to my classes, I eventually end up falling behind in my classes and have so much homework to catch up on. But, that's when I really push myself to get caught up and push myself through all of the work! Because the hard work will pay off! I just need to remind myself that after all of this hard work, I will just be that much more closer to achieving my goal!!

English and Math are subjects that I'm not the greatest at either. That's why I'm here today upgrading so I can enroll and get my nursing degree.

After all the hard work is done I can say;

I finally did it!

Whats Haunting me?

by Colton Sterling-Moses.

I'll start off saying I'm open to any and all feedback.

The thing that is on my mind the most is the loss of native rights and culture. I keep seeing all these things on the news and all over social media; myself I do my best to live a traditional life not just for my sake but for my children and my grandchildren yet to come. As is I feel bad for them because those people who are not here yet will not have the elders I have in this moment of my life. The fear I have about this makes me think I'm not good enough or doing enough to preserve my peoples way of life. Its very hard and I know not all of that is depending on me but I am extremely grateful I surround myself with people who share the same goal to preserve our culture even down to the name of an off flower. The other fear is that after the hard work there maybe nothing left to save and that my grandchildren wont know the taste of wild salmon ect. Anyways this is just me opening up letting you all have a glimpse into the life and mind of Colton.
