Pathways to healing

Connecting with culturally relevant support

Deeply rooted pain often takes more to overcome than everyday challenges. If you or someone you care about is living with the impacts of trauma, help is available. Here in the Yukon, there are on-the-land healing camps, grief and loss workshops. No matter where you are, there is help right here in the territory to help you restore your health, strength and well-being.
