About Slaxin Lelum
Our Vision
MVISS stands with our healthy, thriving, urban Indigenous community inherently connected to our ancestral visions, grounded in diverse cultural knowledge & practices living in harmonious balance to celebrate each other’s gifts.
Our Mission
MVISS provides culturally diverse support services creating a safe & caring environment for people to connect with self and community by healing their trauma to achieve physical, mental, emotional & spiritual wellbeing grounded in Indigenous wisdom and resilience.
Our Philosophy
We base our services on both culturally-based and trauma-informed practices. We acknowledge that we need to address the underlying root causes that lead some Indigenous people into mental wellness challenges and substance misuse.
