ABORIGINAL HEALING AND WELLNESS PROGRAM


GOALS OF THE PROGRAM

 

To ensure that the healing and wellness needs of the Aboriginal community are addressed by implementing the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy at the local level in order to reduce family violence, promote healthy lifestyles, culture based programming and healing.

 

Healing is a continual basis, and we progress stronger if balance is achieved with the four aspects working together.
The belief and values of Aboriginal people emerge from the creation stories of their own nations to give greater meaning to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the Healing Continuum.

 

The "Healing Continuum" recognizes the ages and stages of development, from birth to death and considers the full realm of programming from promotion of stability, curative care, rehabilitative care, training and support system strategies.
