Here at the health center we provide counseling to all First Nations people who live on Snuneyumxw teritorty and then counseling services to Snueymumxw members living away from home. This includes individual, couples, family and group therapy to all age groups. Snuneymuxw hulit Lelum also provide parenting courses, relationship courses, men’s and women’s groups as well. Addictions counseling and access to treatment is also provided through our center.

In regards to the surge funding grant we are using the funding to launch our programs to a virtual format where we can provide these services right in people’s homes by providing access to technology on a loaner basis should they need. Further to this we are using the funding to capture elders teachings regarding health from a wholeness perspective. These teachings will be uploaded to the devices that are loaned out and added to the Nation’s website when ready. Further to this we are also using the technology to connect those who are in facilities to their families through the loan of the devices as well as those who have medical conditions that make the vulnerable to COVID-19.

Snueymuxw hulit Lelum provides a whole range of health services from doctors and nurses to alternative medicine in a collaborative environment to increase the wellness of the community as a whole.
