The article aims to develop strategies to improve mental health systems in Indigenous communities through a two-day forum in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The forum gathered information on what the mental health needs are for this community, and performed interviews with relevant stakeholders to understand what their concerns were. This allowed the authors to develop four key themes that would provide directions and strategies to be followed in order to improve these systems and the Indigenous lives that could benefit from them.
