Sakələməlsowakən Family Wellness Program
The Sakələməlsowakən Family Success Program offers services to fulfill the needs of Indigenous families to feel strong in themselves, develop resilience, and be successful. The program is grounded in Indigenous worldviews, is family focused, and incorporates traditional practices such as Elder guidance, language, and culture.
