Indigenous Mental Health

Indigenous Mental Health addresses critical mental health challenges within Indigenous communities globally. It highlights the importance of culturally adapted healing and the need to understand the impact of historical trauma, such as colonization and systemic discrimination, on Indigenous well-being.

A key insight is the necessity of moving beyond Western-centric models to appreciate holistic, interconnected Indigenous views of mental health, incorporating cultural knowledge and tradition. The book uniquely centers Indigenous voices, exploring solutions that are culturally appropriate and community-driven.

It progresses by first establishing a historical context, then exploring Indigenous perspectives on mental health, including traditional healing practices, and finally examining specific, culturally sensitive interventions. This approach emphasizes the importance of cultural competence and decolonizing mental healthcare to foster genuine healing.
