Description
At Home/Chez Soi (AHCS) project was a mental health and homeless program which ran from 2009 to 2013. Four themes emerged from Interviews conducted with 14 participants: security, mobility, socio-cultural perceptions of home, and separation from ceremony. Suggests that Western model of "home" does not necessarily mesh with that of Aboriginals.
