We Believe

• The most effective way to confront violence and abusive behaviour is through culturally sensitive group work.
• First Nations Women and children are being held hostage under the current values and beliefs of this dominant society.
• We need to address all issues damaging to First Nations people in this dominant society. Issues such as feelings, stress, social/cultural family of origin and the unknown.

We believe there is a need to restore the traditional Aboriginal values of Honour, Respect and Equality.

The Circle of Life includes Elders, Lifegivers, Men, and Youth. All have a right to live in non-violent families and communities.
