When thinking about mental health and trauma, the early years are not always considered and issues are addressed when youth are acting out or withdrawn. Creating emphasis on the younger years and starting intervention and prevention sooner will help promote healthy coping strategies, build confidence, and ultimately, support community growth.<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dd77d9c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default default-style\" data-id=\"dd77d9c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top_negative&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;rt_color_sets&quot;:&quot;default-style&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M790.5,93.1c-59.3-5.3-116.8-18-192.6-50c-29.6-12.7-76.9-31-100.5-35.9c-23.6-4.9-52.6-7.8-75.5-5.3\n\tc-10.2,1.1-22.6,1.4-50.1,7.4c-27.2,6.3-58.2,16.6-79.4,24.7c-41.3,15.9-94.9,21.9-134,22.6C72,58.2,0,25.8,0,25.8V100h1000V65.3\n\tc0,0-51.5,19.4-106.2,25.7C839.5,97,814.1,95.2,790.5,93.1z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7792abb\" data-id=\"7792abb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e658275 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default default-style\" data-id=\"e658275\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;rt_color_sets&quot;:&quot;default-style&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae86f2b\" data-id=\"ae86f2b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fa8db0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3fa8db0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wnhac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0237_edited-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10750\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wnhac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0237_edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wnhac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0237_edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wnhac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0237_edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59c3b28\" data-id=\"59c3b28\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14f6cc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14f6cc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><em>Gichi-miigwech to Gary Smith, our master of ceremonies for this year&#8217;s conference.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Gary is from Naicatchewenin First Nation and is an Aftercare Clinician with Weechi-it-te-win Family Services, specializing in trauma-based healing.

She spoke on the intent behind this year&#8217;s theme and the importance of a wholistic approach to care.\u00a0<br \/>WNHAC&#8217;s Midwives, Sam Chisholm and Dawn Wiscombe, then took the podium to speak about midwifery, community, and culture. They detailed the hopes for this new program, mental health for pre and postnatal care, body feeding, and ways to support a new family.\u00a0<br \/>We then had Laura Horton present on this year&#8217;s topic of Nurturing the Child&#8217;s Spirit. Laura engaged the crowd with valuable teachings on child development, traditional practices with babies, pregnancy, and postpartum care. She highlighted the importance of the moss bag and tikinagan and how they are used to promote a feeling of safety and allow the child to absorb the world around them.<br \/>Day 1 ended with a presentation from Nicole Tuzi from Sick Kids Learning Institute.

She highlighted the importance of being present and interacting with children in their early years from 0-3.\u00a0<br \/>Ron Indian-Mandamin took the stage to explore the Creation Story. He spoke of epigenetics, which involves the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Ron also explored traditional family governance and promoting being welcoming and working together as a community to support social wellness for children and families.<br \/>Jason Cortvriendt, an Emotional Wellness Therapist for WNHAC&#8217;s Agichi&#8217;giizhigoonsag Youth Program, spoke about the importance of the land, teamwork, and mentorship. He showcased their program&#8217;s achievements and hopes for the future. Although this next presentation was brief, it was very informative and impactful.<br \/>Dr. Christopher Mushquash from Lakehead University joined us virtually to present on the development of culturally appropriate interventions for mental health and addiction difficulties in First Nations children and adolescents. Prevention isn&#8217;t just therapy, there needs to be a support system, and there needs to be collaboration.\u00a0<br \/>Lastly, our very own Ken Nash spoke on his journey to becoming a helper and the role of Cultural Coordinator at WNHAC and in communities.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Miigwech to Seven Generations Education Institute for hosting us and providing
