New Dalhousie collaboration supports Indigenous mental health – ENC
February 10, 2025
The Indigenous community in Halifax will have more access to culturally-safe mental health care thanks to a collaboration between the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Society – Wije’winen Health Centre and the Department of Psychiatry at Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Health Central Zone.
The partnership was formalized in early 2025 with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The MOA outlines dedicated, sustainable psychiatric resources to be provided to the Wije’winen Health Centre. The centre is the first primary care clinic to serve the urban Indigenous population in Kjipuktuk (Halifax).
