Honouring Indigenous Wellness: Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day with the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay (CBHSSJB)
At CBHSSJB, we honour the rich heritage of Indigenous healing practices. Our commitment to holistic well-being is reflected in every aspect of our services:
- We provide access to trusted traditional healers, bridging ancient wisdom with modern healthcare.

- We support the journey towards complete well-being – emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual – guided by the principles of Miyupimaatisiiun.
"It is an honour to lead an organization deeply rooted in Cree identity and heritage. We celebrate Indigenous healing practices, integrate cultural values, and prioritize safety, safeguarding our rich legacy. Join us in celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day as we nurture wellness and preserve our cultural heritage in Eeyou Istchee."
