Welcome to the Wellbriety Firestarters Community.

This page has been created to support Firestarters who have completed one of the Wellbriety Facilitator certification trainings. It’s a place to connect and build confidence in facilitating Wellbriety groups. Here you will meet other facilitators, coaches, and WHITE BISON Trainers to assist you.

The Wellbriety Movement

WHITE BISON provides sobriety, recovery, addiction prevention, and wellness/Wellbriety learning resources to the Native American/ Alaskan Native communities nationwide, and First Nation, Metis, and Inuit peoples of Canada.

WHITE BISON is dedicated to providing culturally-based healing to the next seven generations of Indigenous People.

Seven interconnected trainings make up part of the Wellbriety Curriculum.  Additional programs provide a recovery curriculum for family members and a prevention curriculum for youth. 

To learn more about the Wellbriety Movement or to find dates and locations of WHITE BISON Circles of Recovery trainings, visit the website: www.whitebison.org.
