The Mental Wellness Teams Comprehensive Needs Assessment 2019, initiated by First Peoples Wellness Circle in collaboration with members of Mental Wellness Teams from across Turtle Island, indicated the need to develop and implement a strategy focused on supporting the well-being of the First Nations Mental Wellness Workforce (FNMWW), which includes Mental Wellness Teams, Crisis Support Teams, and other specialized wellness workforces (such as the Indian Residential School Resolution Health Support Program).

Informed by the workers who comprise it, the Workforce Wellness Strategy provides pathways, strategies, and recommendations to enhance the well-being of the First Nations Mental Wellness Workforce which serves First Nations communities.

This Workforce Wellness Strategy aims to:

  • Support the wellness of the workers who comprise the First Nations Mental Wellness Workforce who serve First Nation communities and their members,
  • Be reflective of those workers and the current realities they work in; and,
  • Contain strategies that can be implemented in meaningful ways
