NNCTC Director Maegan Rides At The Door and coauthor Sidney Shaw recently published “The Other Side of the ACEs Pyramid: A Healing Framework for Indigenous Communities,” in the International Journal for Environmental Research and Public Health.
The authors propose a new visual aid for conceptualizing Indigenous wellness, by contrast with the deficit-based “ACEs Pyramid.” Their holistic Indigenous Wellness Pyramid identifies pathways toward healing starting with a foundation of broad-based community healing and empowerment. The article offers examples, supporting research, and implications for implementing the Indigenous Wellness Pyramid.
