Services
The Mental Health and Addiction team works out of three locations: the Community Wellness Department, Biidaaban School, and Saswin. We promote health, culture, wellness, purpose, and community.
We believe that an individuals path to wellness is theirs alone. However, we are honoured to walk with those who allow us to be a part of their journey. We believe in each individual’s strengths, talents, resources, and resiliency, and we will work to enhance each of those in the individuals we are privileged to work with.
All of the services offered by the Mental Health and Addiction team are voluntary and aim to increase hope, purpose, belonging and connection among community members.
Help us improve our services
At the MHA department, we’re always looking for ways to improve our services and source out the needs of our community. We value feedback from those accessing our services and we’d appreciate it if you would take this quick survey regarding your experience and wishes for future services and programming.
How the MHA Team honours the 7 Grandfather Teachings:
Nibwaakwaawin: To cherish knowledge is to know wisdom. Wisdom is given by Creator to be used for the good of our people.
Zaagi’idiwin: To know peace is to know love that is unconditional. When people are weak they need love the most.
Minaadendamowin: To honour all of creation is to have respect. You need to give respect if you want to be respected.
Aakode’ewin: Bravery is to face a foe with integrity, having a fearless heart.
Gwayakwaadiziwin: Facing a situation with honesty is to be brave. You should always be honest with your words and actions. Be honest with yourself first and you will be more easily able to be honest with others.
Dabaadendiziwin: Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of creation. We’re all different from each other, but not better than any others; we are all equally a part of creation.
Debwewin: Truth is to know all these things. Seek the truth, speak the truth and don’t deceive yourself or others.
