Mental Health Supports

Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society provides a number of mental health supports for Edmontonians. These supports are part of our Kikosewin program. Kikosewin means; the act of being with family. The program focuses on providing supports for all members of a family, from youth to senior. 

The program provides a number of mental health supports to individuals in need.

• Elder support groups; this group provides a range of supports, as well as a community, for seniors.

• Healing Circles; these circles are available for any Kikosewin participants.

• Dad's Group; this group is hosted by Garth and focuses on supporting and teaching men how to be Dads.

• Your Brain on Anger program; the program is focused on managing anger and is hosted by the wonderful Patty.

The Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers provides therapy & counselling services. Newcomers to a new country face challenges that can lead to high stress, isolation, role shifts, financial difficulties, marital problems, and parent-child conflict. They may also carry trauma from their past, leading to PTSD, depression, and anxiety, which can impede their integration. EMCN provides community-focused therapy and counselling to address these challenges.

EMCN therapeutic services team members are:

• Highly-trained psychologists, licensed therapists and social workers

• Trauma-informed therapy practitioners who consider cultural perspectives, immigration processes, and gender expectations and expressions
