I concur. I have seen programming occur in aboriginal populations that needs to be within the context of the community. It needs to be something that is embraced by the community and not seen as imposed by an external interest or an external need. I have seen programming for the continued availability of individuals who are doing the teaching and the training for other types of support and acting as mentors around other personal, emotional, and family needs.There is a different kind of approach. That one-to-one approach, I agree, is very, very important.
