​​​​​​​​​​​​The Good Medicine Initiative shares how we, as Indigenous people across BC, are using culture, traditional knowledge and spirituality to support ourselves and each other in these trying times.

Resilience, lateral kindness and humour – these inherent strengths and others are featured in positive stories and fun, interactive posts.   

Good Medicine messages are captured and shared in four categories.

Community Stories – good news stories from Indigenous communities, both urban and on-reserve

Wellness Champions – stories of inspirational role models from First Nations communities

FNHA as a Wellness Partner – information, education and tools to support your wellness 

Living It – contests, challenges and recognition of how Indigenous people are “walking the talk”​
