Supporting Wellbeing is a training program that provides tools and resources to better prepare land-based programmers to mitigate and respond to mental health challenges on the land.

A key component of on the land programming happens after the programming ends.

The last module of our training focuses on aftercare: how to support others (and ourselves) when we're back in our home communities. 🏡

In September, we partnered with Charter Community of K’asho Got’ine to deliver a fully-funded Supporting Wellbeing Training in Rádeyı̨lı̨kóé / Fort Good Hope.

The training was facilitated by Cole Hardisty and Kat Thomas. Natasha Harris of Walk With Me - Séhé Yı̨da Wellness was our amazing emotional support person.

Highlights included participant-led circles, hosting a community feast, and spending our last day of training on-the-land at the new hide camp.

Participants' highlights included meaningful discussions on self-care and aftercare, the module on conflict resolution, spending time on the Land, and a medicine walk led by Janell Dautel.

Early July, facilitators Mandee McDonald, Maxine Lacorne and Emotional Support Amanda Baton worked together to deliver a modified version of our training in Sǫ̀mba K’è in partnership with the Tlicho Government Įmbè Program at the North of 60 Aurora Adventures camp.

Six participants from all four Tłı̨chǫ communities were guided through three of our Supporting Wellbeing modules over two days. They had lots of fun taking advantage of the nice summer weather while working through their group activities!

Ması̀cho to the Tłı̨chǫ Įmbè team for co-coordinating this training with us. To North of 60 Aurora Adventures for hosting us at their camp. And to the wonderful participants for bringing so much life into this short and sweet training.
