*****LETS TALK ABOUT SOBRIETY*****

Sobriety is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It can begin with one conversation, one support person, or one decision to take the next step. Through culturally grounded teachings, harm-reduction support, healing circles, and peer connection, MCFN members can access support without shame, pressure, or judgment. Each person’s path is their own, and no one has to walk it alone.

Let’s create space for honest conversations, healing, and hope.

Estate planning isn't only for older adults. Life can change unexpectedly. Having a will and appropriate Power of Attorney documents in place can help you prepare for the unexpected and make your wishes known.

📌 A will can communicate your wishes for your estate.
📌 A Power of Attorney can help you plan for someone to act on your behalf while you are alive.
📌 Planning ahead can reduce stress and uncertainty for you and your family.

For First Nation individuals, there may be specific estate rules that apply depending on your circumstances. Taking the time to understand those rules can be an important part of protecting your family and your wishes.
Contact Julie Nash for additional information and/or for your FREE Estate Plan. [email protected] or 877-667-6299

Have the conversation. Ask questions. Make a plan. Your Family. Your Wishes. Your Future.
