Employment Opportunities with ZNDN

Job Description: The Family Wellness Therapist provides direct counselling, therapeutic, and wellness services to children, youth, young adults, parents, caregivers, and families served under Zaag’idiwin.

Working primarily within Minogi’aawaso (prevention and family wellness) and Post-Majority Support Services (PMSS), the clinician supports individuals and families through healing journeys that address trauma, grief and loss, mental health challenges, family conflict, substance use impacts, relationship challenges, and intergenerational effects of colonization.

The Family Wellness Therapist works collaboratively with Minogi’aawaso, Intake, Ganawendan, Family Circle, Healing Circle, and Elders Tribunal processes to help strengthen families, support reunification where appropriate, build protective family factors, and promote the least intrusive responses possible.

Services are delivered through a voluntary, family-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally safe model that reflects the principles, values, and intent of Zaag’idiwin.

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong clinical skills, cultural humility, respect for Indigenous self-determination, and a commitment to supporting family-led decision-making and healing-based approaches.

The primary focus of this position is the delivery of direct counselling services, therapeutic groups, family wellness programming, and healing supports that improve outcomes for children, youth, families, and caregivers.

This role is responsible for receiving and responding to referrals, reports, and requests for support in a timely, culturally safe, and trauma-informed manner. The Intake Worker ensures that each referral is assessed for urgency, jurisdiction, and service pathway — guiding families toward the most appropriate supports under Zaag’idiwin and connecting them to the right team (Ganawendan, Minogi’aawaso, or Circle Facilitation). This position plays a vital role in ensuring safety, promoting family-led decision-making, and maintaining compliance with Zaag’idiwin Naaknigewin’s privacy, documentation, and jurisdictional standards. 

Job Description: The Family Wellness Worker provides culturally grounded, community-based support to families and individuals, promoting holistic wellbeing and healing. Rooted in the values of love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth, the Family Wellness Worker supports families through prevention, advocacy, crisis intervention, and referral services.
