‘Walking Side by Side’ is a toolkit for reflection and wellness when it comes to consuming alcohol
Reclaiming Your Wellness Month is a time to reflect on your current relationship with alcohol and identify where you are now, where you would like to be, and steps that can help you get there. Now in its ninth year, the awareness month was previously called Sober for October.
To help you on your wellness journey, the First Nations Health Authority’s (FNHA) Wellness Team, in partnership with harm reduction and substance use specialists, has developed a short toolkit. Called Walking Side by Side, Our Journey with Alcohol Use, it was designed to support First Nations individuals in reflecting on their relationship with alcohol, wherever they may be on their journey. It also acknowledges that each person’s experience is unique, shaped by their strengths, resilience, and cultural teachings.
