Team Testimonials

Working at Soonats’ooneh as a Mental Health clinician has been a profoundly rewarding experience. Our approach is deeply rooted in respect for the cultural and personal identities of our clients, which allows us to provide care that is both compassionate and effective.

Every day, I have the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys. This role challenges me to be not only a clinician but also an advocate, a listener, and a partner in the healing process. Our clients entrust us with their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs, and it is an honor to be a part of their journey. The impact of our work extends beyond the clinic, as we strive to contribute to the overall well-being and resilience of the community we serve. Being a part of this team has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by Indigenous communities and has strengthened my commitment to providing care that is both culturally competent and deeply empathetic.

The sense of community at Soonats’ooneh is palpable. The interdisciplinary team here is exceptional, and together, we strive to offer holistic care that addresses the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of our clients. I walk in to work everyday with a sense of pride because I strongly believe in our mission.

My name is Violet, I am a 4th year nursing student. I was fortunate to have my last focused clinical placement at Soonats’ooneh. I am and have always been passionate about Indigenous health equity as an Indigenous woman. When entering this clinical placement, I had no preconceived ideals of how the clinic was operated. From my first moment, I was met with inclusion and respect. I found through my time with Soonats’ooneh that the whole team from services to management and all in between believes in the core values of Indigenous health. I value the lessons of Two-Eyed Seeing and upstream approaches to care that the staff practice in their care models. The patient interaction and feedback that I received about the care of clients was dominated by gratitude and want for expansion of services. As a student it is difficult for me to build trust with clients in a clinical setting as there is limited time to do so, however, Soonats’ooneh placed a focus on relational care, and this shift in focus allowed me to build a better trusting care relationship with clients. Living in a location with such a diverse Indigenous population I feel that this extraordinary experience is invaluable to my future nursing career. I hope one day to return to in a professional capacity.
