"Strong Helpers' Teachings encourages Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, scholars, and practitioners in the human services to learn and understand fundamental aspects of Indigenous worldviews that can be applied to all peoples. Those in the helping professions are challenged to share these important Indigenous teachings, including holistic approaches, spirituality, and healing, without appropriating their meanings and purposes."-- Provided by publisher.
