HEALING WAYS

Seven Fires Foundation
In 2003 a group of caring individuals came together to set up this non-profit organization. The primary mission was to help children and elders wherever there was a need. That quest led us to some of the most impoverished areas right here in the United States – our reservations. For 10 years we have assisted others with basic needs like clothing, shelter and food. Our desire to help others has expanded to include empowering others through the revival of teaching natural building techniques. Natural building illuminates the possibilities for everyone to live in a healthy, affordable home.

Sullivan + Associates Clinical Psychology
- Thunder Bay, Ontario This video is an introductory video in our Indigenous Mental Health series, as voiced by Jasmine Peterson, a Psychological Associate at Sullivan + Associates Clinical Psychology, and a woman of Indigenous descent. It explores some of the root causes of the pervasive mental health concerns in Indigenous populations and communities. Specifically, there is discussion about intergenerational trauma and the impacts of colonial contact and colonization on the First Peoples of Turtle Island. Many of the issues Indigenous people face today are a direct result of these early experiences – experiences that might not be their own but those of their ancestors. |
