Common Mission: Our aim is to weave the 3 baskets of knowledge which encompasses our past, present and future. Our purpose is to provide an accessible range of holistic mental wellness services that will address the needs of our Wolastoq Nation, in a manner that is culturally safe and appropriate to achieve a happy and balanced and sacred way of life.
The Wampum CISM Network is a network of peers and professionals
within each community. These individuals have received
special training and will respond to the needs of their communities during
crisis situations.
