Allied Health - Atikameg Health
Allied Health is a new program provided by Whitefish Lake First Nation #459. Mental health has been the forefront of indigenous health and provides unique challenges due to differing values from other cultures outside of the community. In an effort to provide much needed psychological services to meet these challenges, Allied Health works with qualified psychologists trained in areas such as speech pathology and physical therapy. All members in need of their services are encouraged to seek them.
