This collection addresses the origins of mental health and social problems and the emergence of culturally responsive approaches to services and health promotion. Healing Traditions is not a handbook of practice but a resource for thinking critically about current issues in the mental health of indigenous peoples."--Cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Mental healing -- Canada Indigenous peoples -- Mental health -- Canada Indigenous peoples -- Mental health services -- Canada Indigenous peoples -- Cultural assimilation -- Canada Indians of North America.
