This course will give the students the opportunity to view addiction as a physiological disease as defined by the World Health Organization. How alcohol and drugs damage the entire body will be reviewed and discussed. Students will examine how Aboriginal health, which had been maintained by a traditional diet and life-style, has been adversely affected by a modern diet and life-style. Furthermore, students will note that Aboriginal people have become predisposed to addictions because of such harmful changes in their diets and life-styles. The current First Nations Canada Food Guide will provide a focus for discussion. Learning to identify healthy food choices using a holistic program model, students will gain the knowledge and skills to help restore people to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. As part of these investigations, students will become aware of how a lack of nutrition and the wrong food choices can facilitate cravings for drugs and alcohol. 2023/02/12-2023/02/20 Lecture Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced (more)...
