Program Title: First Nations mental wellness continuum framework
Description: The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) announced on January 28, 2015 the release of a national framework addressing mental wellness among First Nations in Canada. According to the AFN, federal, provincial, and territorial mental wellness programs and services do not currently meet the needs to address the mental wellness challenges faced by many First Nations communities, resulting in a gap in care. The First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework identifies ways to enhance service coordination among various systems and support culturally safe delivery of services.

We share presentations by Jennifer Robinson (Assembly of First Nations), Coreen Everington (First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, Health Canada), Marilyn Willier (3 Eagle Wellness Society, Sucker Creek First Nations), Reg Crowshoe (Treaty 7 Management Corporation), and Dustin Twin (Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta) from the 2015 Collaborative Mental Health Care Conference in Calgary, Alberta.
