OPDI: Good Medicine – Peer Support for People of Indigenous Heritage

This is a brief introduction of one model of how peer support and traditional Indigenous healing can work together to enhance and expand the healing and wellness for people of indigenous heritage. It is meant to give people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, a look at one way to support peers of Indigenous people using peer support. It is one way of opening up the lines of communication. It is not just meant for Indigenous people but for their allies as well. It allows everyone to connect and expand their horizons. We hope this webinar will allow participants to open up to new choices and options. It is also hoped this workshop will open up dialogues and build capacity. 

Presenter Bio: Tyrone Gamble is a veteran peer support worker in the Ottawa area. One of his passions is supporting peers who are of Indigenous heritage that experience and live with hearing voices and parallel realities. Thanks to Elders, Tyrone has been able to begin to makes sense of these experiences is a combination of his Metis heritage and peer support. With the help of Elders, Tyrone is growing in his faith and spirituality.
