N2  - Results: Four meta-themes: community, cultural identity, holistic approach, and interdependence were identified as the main results. Further, a model for mental health and healing was created by the overlapping nature of these meta-themes in practice. Conclusions: A health promoting counselling model for Indigenous clients could be based on cultural values and perspectives. However, employing these values and perspectives entails an understanding that a contemporary conception of Indigenous mental health contains two components: mental health as wellness, and mental health as a process of healing.<p />
