The Aboriginal Child & Youth Wellness Team offers programs for children and youth in order to promote personal wellness, healing and balance. Programs will be offered at the prevention, early intervention and treatment levels. Support for caregivers, community professionals, and communities; is also available.

All our services will incorporate cultural teachings, and will be developed with Aboriginal healing and culture in mind. Leonard Ward, our Spiritual Advisor, and Bertha Cardinal, our Cultural Advisor; provide support, direction and incorporate culture into our services. Cultural consultation will be provided alongside clinical consultation. Brian Bulgin, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, will provide clinical support to the team.

GROUPS
Groups will be offered throughout the year, and there will always be a few groups running at the same time. All groups will have a cultural component. If you are interested in what is being offered, or have suggestions for a group, please contact us.
