Abstract
The purpose of this session is to acknowledge and examine how spiritual healing practices are often used in conjunction with traditional mental health services, often without an integration of the two. This session seeks to show and explain how marrying the two is not only effective for healing, but often more powerful than mental health services alone. We explore why leaving out discussion of spirituality and indigenous healing practices in mental health training is detrimental to not only the client, but the clinician as well. We will focus in on shamanic medicine practices.
