Waashkootsi Nanaandawe’iyewigamig Healing Lodge provides a culture-based, residential healing program intended to break the cycles of violence, abuse, and addictions by addressing underlying causes and developing knowledge and skills that support healthy lifestyles.
The 28-day Mitiigomish Healing Program follows the moon cycle, and incorporates traditional ceremonies and cultural teachings, alongside contemporary supportive counselling, education, and referral services. The program supports participants to heal from personal and intergenerational trauma, address issues of shame, anger, grief and loos, and develop the knowledge and skills to support healthy lifestyles.
This program is delivered by a team that includes Emotional Wellness Counsellors, Emotional Wellness Workers, and Client Support Workers, supported by members of the interprofessional care teams. The team supports clients in their healing journeys through group facilitation, individual support, and counselling in group and one-to-one settings.
Outreach services including workshops are also available. Contact the Program Coordinator at 1-888-MYWNHAC for a program schedule, to obtain detailed information about program content, or to obtain an intake package and/or program handbook.
