Addressing Intergenerational Trauma Through Healing
Trauma-Informed Care That Respects Your History and Identity
The effects of historical trauma, including the legacy of residential schools and the child welfare system, continue to impact Indigenous families across generations. Research shows that these experiences can manifest as anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, and difficulties in relationships. Our First Nations owned therapy services in Belleville take a trauma-informed approach, recognizing the profound connection between past experiences and present struggles. We understand that true healing involves acknowledging these realities while building resilience and reconnecting with sources of strength, whether cultural, spiritual, familial, or personal. Our therapists are committed to providing care that respects your story and supports your path toward wellness, offering in person and virtual sessions.
