Cultural Connections TeePee Talks Support Groups for Men, Women 18 Years & Older.
Thursday's - CoEd for Men & Women 5:00pm to 8:00pm
Location: Dii K'anahtii Zheh Wellness Building
The Cultural Connections Teepee Talks Support Groups is a welcoming and supportive space where men & women can come together to share experiences, strengthen connections, and support one another on their wellness journeys. Rooted in the values of respect, honesty, healing, and community, the group provides opportunities for meaningful conversations, cultural learning, and personal growth.
Hosted by the Aklavik Indian Band Wellness Department at the Dii K'anahtii Zheh Wellness Building, a place whose Gwich'in name means "Look After Yourself," the program encourages men & women to reconnect with culture, identity, and traditional teachings while building healthy relationships and positive coping skills.
Through open discussion, cultural activities, guest speakers, land-based teachings, and peer support, participants are invited to explore topics such as mental wellness, recovery, healthy lifestyles, family relationships, leadership, and community strength. The Teepee Talks model reflects the traditional value of gathering together in a safe and respectful environment where every voice is valued and every story matters.
Whether seeking support, friendship, guidance, or simply a place to connect, all men & women are welcome to join us as we work together to promote healing, resilience, and wellness for ourselves, our families, and our community of Aklavik.
"When we strengthen ourselves, we strengthen our families. When we strengthen our families, we strengthen our community."
Light Snacks & Refreshments will be availble
