Indigenous Wellbeing

Service Description

Deconstructing mainstream models of well-being is an important part of Indigenous well-being development.  The drivers of success are different than mainstream Canadian models, because we as Indigenous people want our children, youth, families, communities, and Nations to be 'happy, healthy, whole" in an environment that is safe.  To do this, we need to create the landing spot for our future. The Institute's model of Indigenous Well-being begins with understanding context, centres on the spirit, and focuses on social, emotional, cognitive, and physical elements of well-being.
