In this article, the author proposes using a bi-cultural theory founded in First Nations ontology called the "Breath of Life Theory," whose basic premise is that structural risks affecting children's safety and well-being are alleviated when relational worldview principles are balanced within the context and culture of the community. She discusses implications of using this theory for social work policy and practice.
