Overview
Healing is a deeply personal journey, and at Ka Ni Kanichihk, we honour that journey by providing culturally grounded programs to support recovery and renewal. Our healing and recovery services are based on traditional Indigenous teachings, promoting a holistic approach to overcoming trauma, addiction, and adversity. We provide a nurturing space where individuals can reclaim their sense of self, reconnect with community, and find balance and peace. Together, we walk the path of healing, supporting each other every step of the way.
