At the end of 2023, PSP Health Promotion participated in a learning session with Tim Yearington, CFB Kingston Indigenous Spiritual Advisor. This role was established in September 2023 through advocacy from the Indigenous Kingston Garrison Defense Advisory Group and is offered within the Base Chaplain network.
This session was one of the initiatives that Health Promotion is taking towards reconciliation. Tim shared his knowledge of the Four Directions, also known as the Medicine Wheel. The information was appreciated by the team for individual well-being and knowledge but also as Helping Professionals.
It’s important to know that this information is for all people within the CAF community. Tim encourages everyone who is curious about learning more to connect with him and take the opportunity to share knowledge together.
