TRC Calls to Action: #21



Legacy
Health

21. We call upon the federal government to provide sustainable funding for existing and new Aboriginal healing centres to address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual harms caused by residential schools, and to ensure that the funding of healing centres in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories is a priority.

I'll refer back to this Government of Canada page for a brief rundown of how this Call is being handled.

This Reconciliation Now page has more interesting information about intergenerational trauma and mental health, plus a plan for funding and implementation of this Call.
