It is our goal through our Wellness & Healing services to provide Indigenous individuals & families within the KW Region the tools necessary to overcome social impacts of colonization, by returning to traditional ways of being & knowing.
AO does this through a culturally appropriate approach, to allow for empowerment and self-determination. Our Wellness & Healing services take on a holistic approach to healing and wellness, focusing on the whole individual. The priority focus of our programming is related to that of healing — mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, in a space that is welcoming and traditionally centred.
It is through our Wellness & Healing service that we are able to provide Indigenous peoples with access to traditional support for Spirit and Community building.
