Health and Wellness

Through this program workplace wellness is addressed. Our workshops include addressing workplace oppression including internalized racism and healing from racism.

Working with the community partners our work engages men in anti-oppression work to decrease social isolation and stigma created by marginalization. Our strategies include working with key stakeholder organizations to increase men’s knowledge of intersectional oppression, and access to both peer supports and community services. The promotion of gender equality, healthy relationships, and communities free from oppression is an important step in fostering harmonious families and communities in Alberta.

Promises Practices

Our current project builds on the success of previous initiatives like the Latino Men’s Well-Being Group, by training and supporting men and women Well-Being Facilitators in the Bhutanese, Ethiopian, Iranian, Nepalese, and Filipino communities. This project invites individuals who are interested in building their capacity as well-being, healthy relationships, and violence prevention peer-facilitators and advocates. Training, mentorship and support is provided for facilitators to lead well-being groups within their communities and evaluate the impact of this promising practice.
