Mental Health & Wellness

The Mental Health & Wellness Program supports the Munsee-Delaware Nation by promoting holistic health, healing, and community connection. Rooted in trauma-informed, culturally safe practice, the program provides prevention, early intervention, and ongoing support for individuals and families experiencing mental health challenges, trauma, grief, family or community disconnection, involvement with the justice system, or difficulties related to physical, emotional, or spiritual well-being.
