TIIPS KIT Program
TIIPS Kit Program is an educational program, with a focus on injury prevention for Indigenous youth of high school age. TIIPS Kit program also has valuable information for adults. Whether living in an urban setting or a more isolated remote community, TIIPS Kit is portable and therefore can be used to educate youth in either setting. The TIIPS kit contains an easy to follow Facilitator Guidebook to enhance program delivery. The program takes approximately 125 minutes to complete when sessions are delivered consecutively. Injury prevention sessions include Impairment, Opioids & Nasal Naloxone, and Role Models. The final session – The Great Debate, reviews and reinforces the key takeaways contained throughout the program. TIIPS Kit Program is designed to be facilitated by anyone; those with little to no experience or those who are professionals. To ensure facilitators have some understanding of Indigenous cultures in our country, the Facilitator’s Guidebook also contains a chapter on Cultural Awareness. The objectives of the TIIPS Kit Program are Information Sharing, Relationship Building, Building trust, and Empowerment. TIIPS Kit Program provides important injury prevention information with a focus on positive messaging.
