Addressing the mental health and wellness of Mushkegowuk communities requires an understanding of historical trauma. The impacts of colonization, including the legacies of Residential Schools and the Sixties Scoop, have significantly affected the wellbeing of the Mushkegowuk People.

​

The strength and resilience of the Mushkegowuk people are evident in their strong family bonds and child-rearing practices, which are deeply intertwined with spirituality, identity, and a connection to the land. Indigenous knowledge systems are living entities, not relics of the past. Today, these systems are being applied to support Indigenous communities and individuals in their recovery from intergenerational pain and suffering endured during the colonization process.

​

Healing is an individual decision, path, journey, and mindset. Choosing to address one's healing can be one of the toughest decisions. No one can make you heal; this decision must come from within. Our Mental Health and Traditional Wellness Programs can be valuable resources for your healing journey.
