Sts’ailes Elders Pat Charlie and Cyril Paul, along with Dory Pentz, community wellness worker, recently shared with us about the good work they and others are doing with their Nation and neighbouring Nations. This work includes leading Healing Indigenous Hearts (HIH) groups, safe spaces for community members who are navigating the loss of loved ones to toxic drug poisoning, to share their grief and support each other. Both Elders and Dory took the training to lead these groups in 2024.
Elder Pat highlighted the value of the training, saying it helps build strength and a better future for the next generation.
