WELCOME TO ECHEN HEALING SOCIETY


OUR VISION

To acknowledge and celebrate the diversity both between and within our local
urban and rural indigenous people, based on our unique histories, relationships,
geographies, cultures, practices, languages, and interests.


OUR MISSION

Our mission is leading the development of services, programs, and other
initiatives to support the urban/rural indigenous population with cultural
safety and humility awareness and supports for family members.  We have multiple
roles to be involve in urban health and wellness, as a service provider, a
partner, and an advocate for the systemic transformation of Quesnel’s indigenous
services system(s) to support the wellness journeys of our indigenous people,
the programs and services are also focused on improving the lack of processes
and resources to connect with indigenous family’s community isolation.

As we seek to enhance programs and services for the broader Indigenous
population, we continue to learn and align with the wholistic Perspective on
Health and Wellness, through engagement and participation from our local
community. The social determinants are the conditions in which people are born,
grow, work, live and age as well as the wider set of forces and systems shaping
the conditions of daily life. These are obstacles in our community for our
children, youth and family’s development and include:

CULTURE AND LANGUAGE

SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS

INCOME AND SOCIAL STATUS

EMPLOYMENT AND WORKING CONDITIONS

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

PERSONAL HEALTH PRACTICES AND COPING SKILLS

EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE

ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES

GENETICS, GENDER, AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION

This is a concept for ECHEN Healing Society to work on, even before we can look
at evaluating and setting metrics of success for basic services such as
education. The vision is largely determined by broader social, cultural,
institutional, economic, and environmental factors. Each child's and family’s
situation are unique. Needs based supports can help with a wide range of health,
social and educational needs, including the unique needs that children and youth
and those with disabilities may have. 


NEED BASED GOALS

FACILITATE PARTNERSHIPS AND CAPACITY BUILDING

Facilitate partnerships, collaborations and capacity building. The context of
Indigenous Peoples' health and wellness is complex with many institutions. It
requires working together to make positive change. We recognize this and work to
facilitate and support partnerships and collaborations between communities,
organizations and sectors. We also recognize that building capacity both within
and outside of Quesnel Indigenous population is important.

BUILD ON COMMUNITY STRENGTHS

Build on the strengths of communities. We look for supports through a number of
communities granting streams that support our community to identify priorities
and undertake initiatives.

ENHANCE INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION AND COORDINATION

Review current initiatives and opportunities for enhancing urban and rural
indigenous representation, and coordination with mental health and wellness and
social determinants to services, supports and programs.

PLAN FOR LONG-TERM PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Comprehensively plan for long-term and coordinated programs and services. Yet
Nations do not always represent the urban and rural population, there is an
opportunity for urban Indigenous service organizations in a similar way, through
long-term sustainable funding models, rather than short-term grant-based funding
through multiple sources.

COLLABORATE FOR SYSTEMIC SOLUTIONS

Work with BC’s Ministries for Social Development and Poverty Reduction on
systemic solutions to the multiple and interlocking crises of homelessness,
poverty, substance use and mental health and wellness.

COORDINATE SERVICES ACROSS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS

The social determinants are typically viewed as being too broad in scope, and
too expensive or complex, and outside of the mandate of any one ministry or
organization. Coordination of services across the social determinant’s spectrum,
however, can have significant positive impacts.

EXPAND SERVICES TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN QUESNEL

To expand services to local urban and rural indigenous people residing in
Quesnel.
