Dalhousie University, the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Society – Wije’winen Health Centre, and the Nova Scotia Health Central Zone are partenering to bring more mental health care to the Indigenous community in Halifax. Under this agreement, the partners will co-create the Indigenous Mental Health Program and provide dedicated, sustainable psychiatric resources to the Wije’winen Health Centre. “[T]he urban Indigenous community will have access to dedicated psychiatric resources via Wije’winen Health Centre, and we will have the ability to shape a psychiatric care service that is culturally safe and relevant for Indigenous people,” said Wije’winen Health Centre Clinical Lead Dr Brent Young.
