Hier, nous avons dévoilé une première murale autochtone créée pour et avec les résidents du CHSLD de Châteauguay.

Cette œuvre s’inscrit dans le projet Ka’nikonhrí:io en chaque mur, une initiative qui vise à rendre nos milieux de soins plus inclusifs, apaisants et représentatifs des réalités autochtones.

Merci à nos partenaires de Kahnawake pour leur collaboration, ainsi qu’à l’artiste Megan Whyte, art‑thérapeute des Premières Nations.

➡️ En plus de la murale du CHSLD de Châteauguay, une 2e sera réalisée à la Maison des aînés et alternative de Salaberry‑de‑Valleyfield.

Ce projet est une action concrète pour la sécurisation culturelle, l’affirmation identitaire et un rappel quotidien de l’importance de pratiques de soins inclusives.

La photo a été prise lors du dévoilement. De gauche à droite :

More than a third of Kahnawà’kehró:non have successfully quit smoking!

If quitting smoking is one of your goals, let the reason from other Kahnawà’kehró:non inspire you; chose a healthier lifestyle, become more aware of the harms of smoking, save money, or respect loved ones.

There are different strategies that can help you quit. Ni****ne replacement therapies can ease withdrawal symptoms, and your doctor or pharmacist can explain options like patches, gum, sprays, inhalers, or lozenges. You can also ask a pharmacist or nurse about smoking cessation programs that provide coaching and support.
