Description: The goal of the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy (AHWS) is to foster improvements in the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal individuals, families, communities and nations through: promotion of equitable, violence-free relationships and healthy environments; provision of equitable access to primary health and healing services and programs, including prevention, treatment and support, that are culturally appropriate and culturally competent; and building on the strengths and enhancing the capacities of Aboriginal communities. The focus of this program is on activities supporting community healing and wellness, and crisis intervention within the broader community. Activities include sharing circles, traditional and western peer support counseling services, treatment referrals, program referrals, court based support services and culturally based healing and wellness workshops.
