Description:
This project will establish a culturally rooted, land-based healing program for the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN), grounded in traditional practices such as sweat lodge ceremonies, medicine walks, and Indigenous teachings. It will also provide overdose prevention and harm reduction training, including naloxone education and kit distribution. Staff will be trained in Indigenous wellness practices and cultural competency. The program will include outreach and community events to raise awareness about addictions, the overdose crisis, and culturally appropriate support options. One-on-one peer support and systems navigation will help connect community members with addiction services, including Indigenous practitioners, crisis counselors, and healthcare providers. By promoting holistic wellness and strengthening community connections, the program will offer accessible, culturally resonant pathways to recovery and healing for MCFN members.
