Hawco Consulting-Child and Family Prevention Services

Supporting the IRTS and two Innu communities to develop their own, Innu-controlled child and family wellness prevention Agency. We take their lead and provide strategic and operational planning, communications support, project management, training and professional development, and program development. development, structural and practice changes, and team capacity building, all based on an Innu voice first and Innu traditions-based approach. 

As a leadership consultant and advisor and founder of Hawco Consulting, I work with organizations, teams, and individuals, supporting social change and Indigenous self-determination. I am currently working with a number of Indigenous organizations supporting their vision of creating and developing an Indigenous-led child welfare agency and child welfare services in their communities. 

Barbara and Raelene from OriginLC have brought tremendous experience and skills to the Child Prevention Services Agency project we are collaborating on. The work involves strategic and operational planning, project management, creative and technical support, and communications resource and documentation development that is responsive to the client’s needs.

They have been highly sensitive to the culture, knowledge, and traditions of our Indigenous partners, bringing these elements in creative ways. They are very responsive to the changing needs of the organization as we support their development, are collaborative, and use a true people-first approach.

The OriginLC team has been wonderful to work with, and are truly passionate about what they do. I am grateful to have them on my team and value their authenticity and heart for the work as well as the skills and expertise they bring to the table.
