Thira Consulting offers Aboriginal communities emotionally safe, culturally-rooted, anti-colonial, strength-based services that enhance capacity and resilience in individuals, families, professionals, and the community as a whole. There are four foundations to the work of Thira Consulting:
- your community has the resources that can meet its members’ need for self esteem and a well-lived life;
- self-esteem is based upon connection (within oneself and with others) and empowerment (sense of personal strength and social voice);
- essential for personal and community wellness, a well-lived life requires both a positive family/ community role and a culturally rooted vision; and
- the fundamental values of care (the desire for another’s well-being that creates connection) and respect (the acknowledgment and support of another’s capacity for empowerment) promotes self esteem and wellness.
