Description:
Students develop reflective process which emphasizes a holistic approach to well-being and healing. Drawing on Indigenous worldviews, students explore how wellness encompasses individuals, families, communities, and spiritual relationships.

The holistic approach will also inform an analysis of community services and infrastructure that are responsive to the needs of Indigenous Peoples.
