The Interconnected Path to Wellness: Exploring the Influences Shaping Indigenous Mental Health and Driving Implementation

Indigenous mental health is shaped by historical, cultural, relational, and system-level influences. This learning series helps professionals understand how these forces affect trust, engagement, and outcomes in healthcare, education, and community settings.  Across six sessions, participants will explore the impacts of the boarding school era, historical and ongoing trauma, care-system barriers, cultural protocols, and the role of community and culture in healing. The series equips learners to adapt and sustain culturally grounded practices that are respectful, effective, and responsive in Indigenous contexts.
