Health
The MN-S Department of Health works to improve the health and well-being of Métis people in Saskatchewan. Currently, the Health Department is working on three priority areas:
♦ Developing a Métis Health Strategy
♦ Creating a plan for Métis Health Data Collection
♦ Partnerships for Improving Métis Health
The Department has also recently completed a Métis Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy, a community-based Métis health survey, and continues to work with partners to implement a tobacco cessation project, The Green Light Project.
Funding for the 2011-2012 fiscal year has been received from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health in order to support both a health director position as well as one additional position.
