Reclaiming Your Wellness Month: Community Wellness Champion Maggie Fred – FNHA
October 22, 2025
Maggie Fred is a 31-year-old mother, daughter and aunty from the Tseshaht First Nation in Port Alberni. She is sharing her recovery story in hopes of inspiring others and reminding them that they are not alone.
Maggie began her wellness and recovery journey on July 29 of this year. She has experienced trauma throughout her life and struggled with addiction. However, it was the loss of her brother that gave her the strength to make a change for herself, her beautiful children and her family.
“I wanted to choose a different path in life,” recalls Maggie, who made a pivotal decision on that day to get sober.
