The First Wellness Program supports Indigenous youth in their journey of healing, wellness and recovery from trauma. Rooted in Indigenous wellness principles, First Wellness emphasizes nurturing for prevention, guidance for intervention, healing for treatment, and restoration for recovery.
A Two-Eyed approach of cultural and western therapies are implemented. The path of recovery and healing is guided by Indigenous cultural and clinical leadership and considers emotional, spiritual and physical restoration. The healing and wellness journey is a collaboration of referral sources, therapeutic and cultural supporters, family and loved ones.
We help empower young individuals to reclaim their narratives, celebrate their heritage, and forge a path towards holistic well-being.
