NORTHERN FIRST NATIONS HEALTH AUTHORITY NEWS
Welcome to the May 2023 edition of NORTH
IN THIS EDITION
 
First Nations people who visit the primary care clinic in Smithers at 3842 Third Avenue, are able to access traditional healing now. More details are in our Stories from the Land.
 
We all know the helpers in our communities who show up time and time again when there is a need for the comfort they bring. Many have committed to a 1-year training and this month completed the first half. They are featured in Sharing Strengths.
 
This month our featured job is for a clinical counsellor, who would travel into communities to provide professional services alongside a dedicated team. Is this you? Or maybe you know someone who would fit this role. Find out more on page 4. While you're there, see all the other positions we have. The North is where it's at to work! 
 
Jim Campbell is our guest for the Bonfire Chat. Jim, the regional manager for mental health and wellness, shares some of the findings from our Addictions Forum that took place in March.
 
'Tis the season for wildfires and floods, so find out the difference between an evacuation alert and an order. Annual Regional Envelope Funding is available. The FNHA is looking for First Nations carvers and photographers to provide submissions of their work; commissions happily paid. All this is in FYI.
 
Photos from Strengthening Helpers training are featured in our gallery, Through Northern Eyes.
