Our Mission

​

At Braiding Connections, we envision a future where Indigenous peoples reclaim their inherent strengths, resilience, and cultural identities through holistic healing practices rooted in their rich heritage. Our organization is dedicated to fostering collective well-being by providing accessible and culturally sensitive psychological services tailored to the unique needs of Indigenous communities.

What We Do

​

We connect community members to culture to support healing, offering:

● Culturally Sensitive Mental Health Services – Designed to respect and reflect

Indigenous ways of knowing.

● Traditional Healing Practices – Incorporating ceremony, land-based teachings, and

ancestral wisdom.

● Community-Centered Support – Strengthening identity through storytelling, and

connection.

● Workshops with a Cultural Focus – Providing hands-on learning experiences in

traditional knowledge, including medicine teachings, art, drumming, and land-based

healing practices.

At Braiding Connections, we honor the knowledge of our ancestors while creating pathways for

future generations to heal. We believe that culture is not separate from healing—it is the

foundation.
