"No One Cares More About Your Community Than You": Approaches to Wellness and Healing with Secwepemc Children and Youth
From: Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work
$2.30
This chapter shares stories from multigenerational Secwépemc and social work/ counselling practitioners with Indigenous ancestry and Secwépemc kinship ties. Each counsellor works with Secwépemc and Indigenous children and youth in ecwépemcúlucw, the land of the Secwépemc Nation. Through the framework of Steseptekwle — Secwépemc storytelling — together with Indigenous (Red) intersectionality, these stories reflect the ongoing resistance to colonial power and the resurgence and reinstatement of Secwépemc ways of addressing wellness and healing.
