Elders aged 55 and older in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories, can access specialized massage and osteopathic therapy from March 17 to March 19, 2026. The Tłı̨chǫ Department of Healing & Community Wellness is hosting the sessions to help seniors manage pain and improve their mobility.

The service focuses on providing care that respects Tłı̨chǫ cultural values. Health providers will use trauma-informed methods to help reduce stress and support the physical and emotional health of community members. Residents are encouraged to contact the department to confirm session times and availability.

This initiative is part of the work done by the Tłı̨chǫ Community Services Agency, which manages integrated health and social services in the region. The Tłı̨chǫ Government provides these programs to ensure that wellness services are accessible and culturally safe for all citizens.

Residents can find more information about this and other upcoming activities on the official community events page. By focusing on the specific health needs of seniors, the program acknowledges the essential role Elders play in the community.
