Selma Poulin is an Oji-Cree woman originally from Bearskin Lake, Ontario. She now resides in Sioux Lookout, Ontario, with her husband Dave. They have four adult daughters and one son. Selma completed her Masters Degree in Biblical Counseling from Providence Seminary in 1995. Professionally she began to work at a First Nations counseling agency as a counselor and later as a clinical supervisor, where she is to this day. She is also one of the Rising Above board members and an active presenter on sexual abuse and residential school healing. Over the years she has dealt with numerous sexual abuse survivors. With no one to follow up these cases at the community level, she began to put together a simple guide base on Christian principles for paraprofessional counselors. Selma has been an active Christian going on thirty
years and has a desire for her First Nations people to know God and to be
healed by Him. She has allowed God to move in her life and is on a healing
journey of her own.
