Look to the medicine wheel for mental health, Elders advise in First Nations study [medicalxpress.com]

The traditional medicine wheel, symbolizing balance and interconnection, can serve as a framework for improving the mental well-being of First Nations people in Manitoba.

That's the key recommendation from a mental-health study conducted by eight First Nations communities in partnership with the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba (FNHSSM) and researchers from the University of Manitoba.

"Traditional teachings have to come back in order [for us] to know who we are and how to balance ourselves," said an Elder participant in the study. "We need to go back to having the mind, the body and the soul reconnect."
