Struggles, Strengths and Solutions: Exploring Food Security with Young Aboriginal Moms

Struggles, Strengths and Solutions: Exploring Food Security with Young Aboriginal Moms is an arts-based research project from Cyndy Baskin of Ryerson University School of Social Work, which implemented Aboriginal research methodologies and cultural protocols. This project explored issues of food security with young Aboriginal mothers in Toronto, including the connections between food security and housing/homelessness, child welfare involvement, poverty and health. Participants used storytelling circles and created an art mural to tell their stories of struggles and strengths.
