2. Provide individual and group programs and services that promote recovery from psychological and social problems, addictions and other forms of self harm that are rooted in the trauma of sexual, physical and emotional abuse suffered by direct and intergenerational Survivors of Residential schools.
3. Enhance Aboriginal capacity to meet Aboriginal needs by bridging clients to traditional Inuit, Metis and First Nations Elders and Traditional Healers.
4. Restore and strengthen the pivotal healing and leadership role of Aboriginal women in the context of restoring cultural identity and pride.
5. Strengthen the capacity of the service system in the region to support Aboriginal people, especially youth, by sustaining and building on formal inter agency linkages.
