The Women's Wellness Circle Project

The Women's Wellness Circle Project is under our Health services division and addresses barriers to health care for Native women. Utilizing innovative and cultural specific strategies, the project works to develop a network between AICH, health institutions, other front-line providers and Native women in the community. The project provides accessible satellite screening and health information through mobile units, develops Native educational performance pieces, and holds monthly wellness circles for Native women to share health access concerns and to provide preventative health education.

AICH provides alcoholism and substance abuse services in New York City. The services strongly focus on group and individual counseling. These programs offer a sense of community support as Native people seek to begin and maintain their recovery. Spiritual and cultural support are integral parts of the programs, as well as our education and prevention activities
