Who We Are
Nanki Nezulne (Our Two Spirits) 2SLGBTQ+ Health and Wellness Services is operated under Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS). CSFS is a non-profit organization that offers a wide scope of holistic wellness services to member Nations in Northern British Columbia. CSFS and programs operated within prioritize the reassertion of First Nations control of justice, health, social and family services, all of which have suffered through the process of colonization.
CSFS Nanki Nezulne (Our Two Spirits) was also created and funded in collaboration with Community Action Initiative (CAI).
Our mental health and wellness services are available at NO COST for adults (18+) that self-identify as Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, plus additional gender, sexuality and romantic identities) that reside throughout the province of British Columbia. Individuals who are exploring or questioning their gender, sexual identities may also access our services.
Our Mission
CSFS Nanki Nezulne (Our Two Spirits) aims to provide wrap-around health and wellness support for adults (18+) that self-identify as Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ who reside in the 11 member Nations that Carrier Sekani serves. The development and implementation of our practices are determined through partnership and collaboration with the First Nations People residing in the Carrier and Sekani Territory. Our priority of community involvement advances the eventual self-governing of 2SLGBTQ+ human services by the Carrier and Sekani First Nations People.
