Shifting the Mental Health Paradigm to a Mind Body Healing Practice

This presentation focuses on the current mental health structure in Western society and how it affects Native people. Native people have a long history and experience of historical/inter-generational trauma within the United States. Native peoples’ history and relationship with dominant society is unique and complex. We will explore the history and impact of Western models of mental health care with Native communities and how this paradigm needs to shift to be able to effectively provide care that is focused on healing and wellness. We will also review examples of how Native traditional values and ceremonies can be integrated with Western models to promote healing and resiliency.
