Sweetgrass Healing Centre's Wellness Programs

Embark on a 8-week group therapy journey with a small group of likeminded people

Join our wellness program and virtual community, to grow with others who are making active changes in their lives by healing, learning, and evolving into the people they want to become! If you are seeking intentional growth and empowerment, that is developed through our trauma-informed program, delivering evidence-based psycho-education and therapeutic practices, as well as sharing our teachings of Indigenous traditional knowledge. These programs may be a good fit for you.

We have two group therapy wellness programs for you to choose from:

Northern Resilience

Our most popular wellness program, where we have intentionally designed our programming to support folks who are seeking safety and stabilization after experiencing a major life event or changes in circumstances. Often when grief, trauma, or discord occurs in our lives, our beautiful nervous systems get triggered to keep us safe. These innate safety mechanisms, if left unresolved, over-time can have long-lasting impacts on our overall wellbeing and closest relationships. Through group discussion, sharing circles, and psycho-education, along with learning more about culture, ceremony and Indigenous spirituality, we can begin to bridge the gaps of understanding what is happening to you when you are in these states of distress. And how you can find solutions to fostering more calm, spaciousness and resilience in your lives. Our virtual platform helps to facilitate immediate support to those who need it, as we know in our remote communities, access to safe spaces to process difficult emotions and situations, can be difficult to find. 

Addictions Aftercare

A lovely program that is specifically designed for those on the addictions recovery journey, and are seeking on-going trauma-informed and culutrally sensitve aftercare supports. All are welcome who are on their recovery journey's, regardless if they have attended a formal inpatient treatment program, or have been on the recovery journey for years, and are seeking community and support. Living in remote communities can often leave us with limited access to programs and services, that aren't our relatives or people that we may know. This is quite common in our remote communities, where confidentiality and anonymity can be hard to establish within the communities, which are critical components when creating safe spaces for healing. By accessing our virtual programming, you can begin to develop new community relationships with other's on the recovery journey, who understand what it is like to have to find and maintain their recovery in often very limited circumstances. Our virtual program provides immediate access to a multitude of resources for your benefit and success. 

Year Round Support

In practicing in our continuance of care, we have designed our SHC Wellness Programs to be offered on-going, all throughout the year. With specfic intake dates, folks who are returning from an inpatient treatment program, or may have certain committments throughout the year, can opt-in to pre-register for their participation in our wellness program. These programs were intentionally created by Kristielyn Jones witnessing a growing need in our communities, for on-going, trauma-informed and culutrally significant care that is accessible to anyone with internet and a computer. 

Much of what Kristielyn was seeing in our communities, is the occurrance of "one-off healing workshops" or "healing camps", that can often leave people with open, unresolved, unprocessed emotional and traumatic wounds; having to fend for themselves. When emotional wounds are not carefully resolved or processed, unhealthy coping mechanisms can crop up in their place, creating more conflict and confusion in a person's life. 

Through our continuance of care model, we invite our wellness program participants to pre-register for the next cohort to receive the benefits of having a program that is:

  • Consistent
  • Conscious & Aware
  • Compassionate
  • Culturally significant

Our beautiful nervous systems are constantly craving connection, community and support. Which is a healthy need, when facilitated with healthy people on similar healing journey's. We strive for excellence in our work, ensuring that our clients feel safe, heard, and supported in their journey's and have the autonomy to make informed choices about their mental health and wellness journeys. 

Important: Please check your health insurance providers to access coverage for our group therapy wellness programs.

We look forward to working with you.
