Kitchen Table Talk is a strength-based and capacity-building survivor and family-centred support program led by the Manitoba Métis Federation Sixties Scoop Wellness Centre ("the Wellness Centre").

The program encourages survivors to develop the following:
Talking Circles
Talking Circles is a group healing activity that brings survivors together in a safe and healing environment. Each participant can speak or remain quiet and learn from others' stories. An experienced Métis knowledge keeper facilitates the circle with mental health support on hand.
Cultural-Based Workshops
Cultural-based workshops bring survivors together to experience and learn more about their Métis culture. With assistance from a Métis cultural expert, survivors will take on a small project such as beading, weaving or land-based activities.
Information Sessions
Information sessions assist survivors in achieving their "coming home" objectives. In these sessions, survivors can ask questions directly to the individual facilitator. Some available sessions include information on attaining their Manitoba Métis Federation citizenship card, programs and services provided to citizens, and services offered by the Wellness Centre.
