I’taamohkanoohsin (everyone comes together): a Blackfoot cultural program supporting people with concurrent mental health challenges and other complex needs

Abstract

Trauma, addiction, and homelessness for Indigenous people are interwoven with colonialism and the loss of culture. I’taamohkanoohsin is a grassroots program that was developed to support healing and recovery for a highly marginalized Indigenous population with concurrent mental health challenges and other complex needs in a downtown core neighbourhood.
