Department of Educational Counselling and Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS)
Dr. Goodwill’s research focuses on Indigenous approaches to mental health and counselling (children, youth, adults) and Indigenous ways of knowing and constructing knowledge. A citizen of the Sandy Bay Anishinaabe First Nation in Manitoba, her work has contributed to the development of collaborative, interdisciplinary interventions for youth and families affected by gangs and the sequelae of the Canadian Indian Residential School system.
