Traditional mental health practices for Indigenous university students

Distinctions between Indigenous and Western world views of mental health run the risk of generalizing Indigenous culture without considering individual differences or appreciating the dynamic nature of cultural world views, values, beliefs, and understandings.

This need to infuse traditional methods, relevant cultural metaphors, values, and beliefs into mental health interventions is taking centre stage in a nationally funded project currently underway at the University of Regina. The aim of this project is to develop a mindfulness-based intervention to meet the unique needs of Indigenous university students, write Brenda Green and Shadi Beshai.
