Webinar Description:

In this presentation, Andrea will discuss what resilience means from an Indigenous perspective, and its role in the survival of Indigenous peoples, and in balancing and healing from the damage to our peoples and communities through colonization.  Four examples of ways that resilience is evident in We’koqma’q First Nation will be explored.  Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own experiences of resilience, and to make the connection between this and strengths-based mental health counselling.
