Wabanaki Health & Wellness History

Our organization was originally established in 1996 as the Wabanaki Mental Health Association, to respond to unmet mental health needs in the Native community and provide mental health case management, medication assisted treatment, and peer run recovery services. The organization became Wabanaki Health Wellness in 2007.
