Vancouver Aboriginal Health Society - Similar companies

Located in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, Vancouver Aboriginal Health Society improves and promotes the physical, emotional, ... and spiritual health of individuals, focusing on the urban Indigenous community in Metro Vancouver. Our approach to health is holistic so we can proactively address the social determinants of health rather than simply treat the illnesses they cause. By providing culturally grounded, trauma-informed programs and services, we create a safe and community-driven environment characterized by a "culture of caring." This is an environment that is free of judgment and aims to restore the well-being of our communities. Indigenous cultures are the foundation of our approach to health and well-being. We incorporate all four aspects of the Medicine Wheel (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health) into our services, programs and community building. As such, we can provide guidance through culture and create opportunities for people to move into a space of thriving. read more
