Growing stronger together: Implementing the Strengthening Families Program with Indigenous communities

This article presents the use of poetic inquiry to explore the impact of a culturally integrated evidence-based program among Indigenous1 caregivers and argues for the continued use of poetic inquiry within social work research for studying and building community with Indigenous Peoples. The qualitative article uses a relationality framework and offers three poems generated from caregiver interviews that share their takeaways from the program and the skills and practices they learned from the curriculum. As reflected in the program’s catchphrase, “Growing Stronger Together,” the authors suggest that integrating culture can strengthen and begin to heal caregiver-child relationships.
