Webinar Description:

In this webinar, Dr. Catherine Richardson discusses the concept of “Aboriginal Mental Health.” This entails offering a description of this term and providing examples of a holistic framework for approaching mental health and wellness work with Indigenous individuals and communities.  She relates the history of Canadian colonization to interruptions in Indigenous well-being and provides some helpful examples of how to work in ways that do not reproduce colonial or “top-down” models on communities who often link well-being with liberation and social justice.
