We don't here, specifically.
One of the things that we did do was that we partnered with Horizon Health. We now have a nurse practitioner who comes to us and is available to many of our folks who come to the friendship centre. That was a big help for us. We noticed that most of the time it's moms with young children who are going to her.
One of the things we are hoping to build is a birthing centre, right here in our new building that we are hopefully going to have within two and a half years. That way our families can come and be able to do those things traditionally with a really good health care provider, while going back towards midwives and doulas and delivering babies in a more traditional way.
We have many people who are pretty excited about that. I believe that, at the friendship centre in Halifax, they had their first child born there, which was pretty exciting.
What we realized is that many of our families who are struggling with health or mental health issues will hesitate to go to mainstream services. The reason for that is the amount of judgment they face. Sometimes it might start off as a small, insignificant health issue that will grow because it's not getting addressed, since they are not going for help.
They will come here. We are trying to provide medical services here at the friendship centre, so that they don't have to go into mainstream services. There are some things for which they will have to go to specialized services, of course, but it's to get them comfortable to come here, because of what they're facing in some of these institutions they're going to.
One of the things we're working really hard on is cultural sensitivity training for the medical profession here in New Brunswick, because people are hesitant to reach out. It's not always safe for indigenous people, culturally.
