Health & Wellness

Empowering Our Communities Through Holistic Care

Advancing culturally grounded healthcare for stronger, healthier communities.

The Health & Wellness Committee of the Northern First Nations Alliance (NFNA) is committed to improving the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of our member Nations. We combine traditional healing with modern healthcare strategies to bridge critical gaps in care. Our focus is to develop community-led health solutions, including treatment and recovery services that reflect the cultural values of Indigenous peoples.

Our Focus Areas

Culturally Appropriated Healing
We integrate Indigenous knowledge and traditional healing practices into all aspects of health services, fostering trust, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Holistic Care
Recognizing the connection between mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, we advocate for accessible, community-based programs that serve all ages and backgrounds.
Substance Use & Recovery Support
NFNA partners with Red Road Recovery and other Indigenous-led programs to provide culturally sensitive withdrawal, detox, and treatment services tailored to the needs of Indigenous youth, women, men, Elders, and the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Key Initiatives

The Legacy Project

A land-based treatment center and mobile outreach service that provides withdrawal management, detox, and aftercare programs in partnership with FNHA, Northern Health Authority, and the Ministry of Mental Health & Addictions. The goal is to ensure Indigenous-led care remains at the forefront of healing
