After a 30-day healing program launched by Dehcho First Nations had positive results, coordinators and participants say there is a need for more programming like it. Culture really is healing. Being on the land is healing. That s my hope, is to see more and more of these programs in the N.W.T., especially in the Dehcho, said Kristen Tanche, regional health and wellness coordinator with Dehcho First Nations.
The program is a partnership between Dehcho First Nations and Frank and Bev Hope from Shakes the Dust Hope Consulting.
