Cultural Healing: Indigenous Approaches to Mental Health and Addiction

I know that the level of addiction and mental illness in Indigenous communities is much higher than it is in the general population, and part of that, I think, is the isolation and the lack of doctors and nurses and so on.
Why are Indigenous communities facing such high rates of mental illness and addiction? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Renee Linklater, Senior Director at Shkaabe Makwa at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, to explore this pressing issue. Renee sheds light on the deep-rooted trauma and racism that have been passed down through generations, especially the devastating impact of residential schools in Canada.
She emphasizes the importance of traditional healing methods and culturally safe spaces in promoting wellness among First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples. Renee's insights reveal how integrating traditional knowledge with modern medical practices can pave the way for meaningful recovery and support for Indigenous mental health. As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, this conversation is more relevant than ever.
Tune in to understand how cultural practices are not just beneficial but essential in the journey towards healing and recovery for Indigenous communities.
