Indigenous Healing Centre

The Aboriginal Counseling Services Association of Alberta (ACSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Indigenous individuals, families, and communities through culturally grounded counseling, healing programs, and educational initiatives. ACSA’s Indigenous Healing Centre provides trauma-informed services that empower participants to develop personal safety strategies, strengthen parenting skills, reconnect with cultural teachings, and heal from intergenerational trauma, including family violence.

The Need for Support

ACSA has encountered an unanticipated surge in demand for its Indigenous Healing Centre programs. This increased need is due to several factors, including:

  • A sharp rise in requests for crisis counseling and family support services.
  • Growing demand for Elder-led cultural teachings as more community members seek traditional healing.
  • Financial and logistical barriers preventing families from accessing our services, including transportation and childcare costs.
  • The necessity to strengthen program evaluation tools to ensure ongoing effectiveness and sustainability.
