PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
We are dedicated to a holistic approach to individual and family healing. We value each human being as unique and believe in individuals’ potential for growth.
We are aware that addiction is often a result of unresolved traumas, such as abuse or even complicated attachment with caregivers in childhood. By increasing knowledge about trauma, triggers, healthy attachment and coping skills, we have faith that people can recover.
We believe in the healing power of the Circle and of community, for we are all interconnected, and
"Connection is the Correction."

Virtues Project
Integrating daily use of the Virtues, we practice positive, strengths-based language and reflections. The goal is to support parents to practice kind communication with their children.
Circle of Security
Our parenting program is based on our Nuu-chahnulth teachings and the Circle of Security, both of which are strongly influential in building attachment and resilience for parents and children.
Completion Ceremonies - The Butterfly Ceremony
Upon completion, families are guided through this closed event that reflects Nuu-chah-nulth ceremonies held for transitional life phases.
Grad celebrations are held on the last day where clients can welcome their guests to witness. Please contact us for further information.
