Culture is the Cure: Supporting Traditional Healers and Healing Centered Engagement

Saint Paul - Ramsey County Public Health (SPRCPH) formed an authentic community engaged Mental Health and Wellness Action Team in July 2016 that informs the work of the department in responding to the integrated health care needs of Saint Paul - Ramsey County residents and greater communities. Learn how Mental Health and Wellness Action Team members became the primary vehicle that brought residents, healers, and organizations together to improve and promote mental wellness by ensuring access to appropriate culturally responsive healing services for all people in Ramsey County. Through this work we have engaged hundreds of community members and support the work of over 25 traditional healers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Learn about how you can expand healing-centered engagement and awareness of culturally responsive resources to strengthen mental well-being and healing in your community.  Additional experiential healing opportunities featuring several of the traditional healing partners will be announced at this session for September 2021.
