Q:
What do you do?
A: Eyaa-Keen provides Aboriginal Traditional
based trauma treatment and psychological
rehabilitation. Programs and services are
intensive and multi-disciplinary, focusing
on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and
physical well-being of Aboriginal adults.
Q:
How do your programs work?
A: Eyaa-Keen addresses the needs of Aboriginal
adults seeking new ways, behaviours and
disciplines in order to become better parents,
workers, leaders and mentors within their
family, community, and society. Through
healing tools incorporated into daily living,
participants learn to "clear" and "release"
barriers that hold them back from living
their lives in a healthy and good way.
Q:
Where do your programs take place?
A: Eyaa-Keen has spacious and comfortable
meeting space in their downtown Winnipeg
offices, where individual and group sessions
take place. They also offer multi-day 'residential'
programs outside of Winnipeg, in rural locations
conducive to comfort and healing, where
participants reside on-site during the program
delivery.
Q:
What is the cost for a session?
A: Costs per session depends on many factors
- how long the session is, whether it is
an individual or group session, and whether
it takes place inside or outside Winnipeg.
In addition, subsidy may be available for
qualifying participants, which can substantially
reduce costs. The best thing to do is call
Eyaa-Keen to learn about the programs, discuss
your situation, and find out what the costs
will be for you to attend.
Q:
Can my kids come?
A: Eyaa-Keen's programs are intended only
for Aboriginal adults over the age of 24,
so children are not allowed to directly
participate. However, your children will
benefit greatly by your participation, as
you will become a healthier and happier
parent, instilling strength into your children,
and teaching them by example.
Q:
Can my husband/wife/partner come?
A: If your partner meets the criteria for
intake, then yes, they may attend as a participant.
If they do not wish to participate, your
relationship will benefit greatly by your
participation
