Our Outreach and Urban Services team provides a culturally-grounded continuum of wellness that begins with harm reduction and supports individuals as they progress toward stability, healing and cultural reconnection.
All services are guided by the Ktunaxa Cultural Practice Framework and are delivered through a trauma-informed, client-centered approach.
We work in collaboration with the Ktunaxa Nation Regional Health Centre, Ktunaxa Nations’ Health Teams and other community-serving organizations in ʔa·kisk̓aqǂiʔit (Cranbrook).
