About this listen

 pihtikwê means "welcome" in the Cree language. In this podcast, three leading First Nations psychologists, Dr. Brenda Restoule, Dr. Holly Graham and Dr. Alanaise Ferguson, welcome Indigenous psychologists and health leaders in the mental wellness fields to share their stories, knowledge, and lived experiences. Together they discuss how that relates to challenges and successes in navigating and working within systems of care, and strength-based and cultural approaches to healing.Copyright 2025 pihtikwê - Visits with First Nations Psychologists Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Spirituality
