| Abstract: | "This article examines the role of support in the lives, recovery, and sustained well-being of two long-term First Nations volatile substance misusers in Canada. Through the application of visual-arts-based and oral life history methodologies, support is conceptualized and analyzed from joint Indigenous and Western worldviews. With a culturally informed understanding of the types of connections that bring about support, insight is offered to those who are a part of the recovery and maintenance support systems of individuals who misuse volatile substances" |
