The Msɨt Mijua'ji'jk program recognizes that a child’s primary caregiver can be a parent; grandparent; extended family member; foster parent; or a kinship, two-spirit or other family member. Our focus is families who are prenatal and have children younger than 4 years old.
Msɨt Mijua'ji'jk
All of Our Children
The Msɨt Mijua'ji'jk is a collaboration between Tajikeimɨk and The Martin Family Initiative that supports young Mi’kmaw families during the most important phases of their child’s development to ensure parents/caregivers have the tools they need to be their children’s first and best teachers.
The Msɨt Mijua'ji'jk will support community-based programs and staff to:
Walk alongside pregnant women and their families during pregnancy and the first few years of their child’s life
Design programming that supports overall child development and family well-being, and fits the needs of individual families and communities
Provide training and learning resources that reflect Mi’kmaw culture, language and values
