Introduction to Holistic Forms of Healing

April 11, 2024 | 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. EDT

Holistic healing practices emphasize harmony with nature, the spirit world, and one’s community. The holistic approach recognizes the interdependence of mind, body, and spirit and serves as a method of preventing violence. Speakers from the Bakersfield American Indian Health Project will describe holistic healing practices, share best practices, and detail how Urban Indian Organizations can implement these practices to provide culturally competent care through traditional healing. Continuing education credits are available for nursing and social work professionals.*
