PROVIDING HEALTH TIPS AND TOPICS BASED ON YOUR STAGE IN LIFE
Huli'tun Health Society strives to provide Elders the opportunity to stay in good health, share teachings, celebrate and gather. Our hands are raised to Elders who have suffered or are still suffering from the effects of residential school. We acknowledge the perseverance and strength needed to move on with everyday life. We are grateful for all that you contribute to your communities.
MIND HEALTH
On October 10th, 2022, we bring awareness of mental health issues around the world and offer support and resources to better inform and support communities. Here at Huli'tun, we have our family counsellor who can support us with counselling and navigate systems to find the best mental health support locally.

MEDICAL HEALTH
September 21 is World Dementia Day
This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia.
If you or a loved one are struggling with progressive mood and memory issues please come in and see our medical team. There is help.
DENTAL HEALTH
We are bringing a denturist onboard, to assess if your dentures are working for you and to walk through the paperwork of getting them repaired or replaced. Poorly fitting dentures impact your health and quality of life.
