We’koqma’q capped off Wellness and Addiction Awareness Week with a day of celebration on Saturday, November 22nd.
Norma Gould, a social worker in We’koqma’q, organized the event. Throughout the week, there were various avenues people could explore to learn about wellness practices and how to manage addictions. There were sessions on massage therapy, acupuncture, guided meditation, and traditional practices such as sweat lodges and healing ceremonies. There were even haircuts and nail appointments, because even something as simple as a haircut can make one feel better. All of the sessions were free.
