Walgwan center provides services to First Nations and Inuit youth experiencing challenges related to substance use, mental health, trauma, and overall wellbeing.
Connection to the land is central to our philosophy of care.
Approximately 50% of our programming takes place on the land, where youth participate in seasonal cultural activities that foster identity, resilience, teamwork, confidence, and personal reflection.
Land-based experiences may include:
The healing journey often begins before a young person arrives at Walgwan Center.
Our eight-week Residential Wellness Program provides youth with a structured, supportive, and culturally grounded environment where they can focus on healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
Culture is woven into every aspect of life at Centre Walgwan.
Every youth receives individualized support based on their unique strengths, experiences, and goals.
Distance should never be a barrier to healing.
Walgwan center is committed to improving access to culturally grounded wellness services for First Nations and Inuit youth living throughout the surrounding region.
Healing begins in the community.
Healing is strongest when families and communities walk alongside youth.
Healing continues long after a youth leaves our residential program.
At Walgwan Center, we believe that promoting life is just as important as treating illness.
