Elder Belinda Vandenbroeck

Elder Belinda Vandenbroeck is one of the three co-founders of Clan Mothers Healing Village and Knowledge Centre in Bélair, Manitoba. Clan Mothers provides mid-term to long-term support for women who have been victims of multi-generational trauma, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. Their treatment models incorporate Indigenous methodologies and knowledge, primarily referring to the Indigenous matrilineal model of healing. Prior to co-founding Clan Mothers, she worked as an educator and healer at the Grandmother Moon Lodge, which was operated by her two co-founders, Elder Mae Louise Campbell and Jamie Goulet. Elder Belinda is guided by her own healing journey and sobriety, and she is committed to decolonization in her teachings.
