Our In-Person Program offers a 10-week, immersive experience designed to address substance abuse and mental health challenges. This program provides individual and group therapy, life skills sessions, and a variety of cultural activities such as traditional drumming, storytelling, and land-based practices. The community living setting offers a safe and supportive environment where youth can focus on their healing journey.

To ensure a positive and smooth reintegration into their home and community, we have introduced a 4-week outpatient program. This innovative program provides continued support and resources as youth transition from the healing setting. It includes follow-up counseling, community-based activities, and family engagement sessions, helping youth maintain their progress and successfully integrate their new skills and insights into their daily lives.

Our Land-Based Healing Program takes place in natural environments, emphasizing the deep connection between land and well-being. Youth participate in activities such as traditional hunting, fishing, and plant gathering, which are not only therapeutic but also reinforce cultural knowledge and skills. This immersive experience fosters a sense of belonging and purpose.

Central to our program are the Elders and Knowledge Keepers who guide the youth through traditional teachings and ceremonies. Their wisdom and presence are integral to the healing process, offering spiritual guidance and reinforcing cultural identity. Activities such as sweat lodges, smudging, and storytelling are woven into daily life, providing a strong cultural foundation.

Healing is viewed as a communal process, involving not just the individual but their family and community. We facilitate regular family sessions and community gatherings, where youth can share their progress and participate in collective ceremonies. Workshops and counseling sessions for families help them support their loved ones’ healing journey and strengthen familial bonds.

Our therapeutic approaches are rooted in Indigenous perspectives, focusing on holistic well-being. This includes emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health. Traditional healing methods are integrated with modern therapeutic practices, such as talking circles and peer support groups, creating a balanced and culturally-relevant approach to healing.

Our educational component challenges colonial narratives and highlights Indigenous histories, languages, and worldviews. Youth engage in culturally-relevant education that promotes pride in their identity and equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in both Indigenous and mainstream society.
