The purpose of the Nathan Louis Healing Foundation is:

(a) to provide financial support for substance use disorder treatment and rehabilitation for individuals of low income or with qualified financial need;

(b) to enhance access to addictions and mental health treatment by providing professional resources and assistance to individuals with qualified financial need who are accepted and waitlisted by a treatment facility; and

(c) to promote health and relieve poverty by providing information, resources and guidance to individuals with qualified financial need, such that they are not denied essential addictions and mental health treatment simply due to economic reasons.

Initially, the Nathan Louis Healing Foundation will focus on providing support to Indigenous individuals living in urban centres in Southern Alberta, as this has been identified as a current need where the Foundation can realistically generate positive outcomes in the short-term. The Nathan Louis Healing Foundation intends to continue to expand the scope of its support, as funding permits.
