Book Description
Through the understanding that Indigenous Peoples are in the process of rising from the “colonial container”, with the goal of individual and collective wellbeing, this edited book explores decolonizing mental health in order to ad¬vance various possibilities for living a quality life within the present-day conceptualizations of Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being.
Part I builds the foundation, our knowledge base, upon which we can talk about decolonization mental health. Part II explores the concept of identity/self. Part III examines empowerment. Part IV discusses culturally specific mental health and wellbeing practices. Finally, Part V looks at political action.
