Nurses, constables, and others in related
work, serve as “associate” resource team members. The workers join forces
to help individuals and families in trouble and to identify long term strategies
for community healing. Members of all resource teams participate in a Shibogama
wide, college accredited training program, and work together in planning
tribal council initiatives.
The main focus of Shibogama’s healing program is to devise coordinated strategies of healing that rely on local strengths and fit the culture and traditions of the people. Nurses are integral participants in Payahtakenemowin, as they are usually the first on the scene of a mental health or child welfare emergency, and work with medical conditions that are caused or aggravated by personal distress. Together nurses and local resources work to
create exciting healing initiatives for Shibogama First Nations.
