Community Healing and Wellness Drive

Attention NCN Citizens/Managers/Directors:

Spring break is starting for our children on Friday, March 24th, 2023, followed by Flex week. We want our children, Elders, and community members to feel safe and to live a life that reflects healing, wellness, and good health. The good life: Mitho pimatisiwin

Therefore, NCN will be drug and alcohol-free from Friday, March 24th 2023 until Easter Monday, April 10, 2023. We will proclaim this time period as our NCN Healing and Wellness Drive.

We direct ALL program managers and directors to provide as many activities for our people as possible in order to promote healing and wellness.

For example:

Drug & alcohol awareness & intervention
church services, prayer groups, gospel jams
sharing circles, ceremonies, and traditional activities
land based activities i.e. fishing derbies, wiener roasts, sliding parties, etc.
AA meetings
Recreational programming, Entertainment
professional counseling sessions/healing opportunities
