Urban Aboriginal Women and Mental Health

A research team from the Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence (PWHCE) conducted community-based interviews and focus group sessions with 46 Aboriginal women from Winnipeg and Saskatoon to talk about their mental health concerns, needs and coping strategies, and particularly to gather their suggestions on how to better improve the mental health services, programs and supports. This report seeks to fill a gap in the current understandings of mental health through unique and diverse community-based perspectives and narratives of Aboriginal women.
