BEING
ME, BEING FREE
"Being
Me, Being Free"™ is a series of sessions
designed and delivered by Behavioural Health
Specialists Mel & Shirley Chartrand. Each
group session has a unique theme that provides
focus on what will be addressed during the
session. Participating in sessions with
different themes builds on progress made
at previous sessions.
Sessions address a variety of needs including
situational stressors, family relations,
interpersonal relationships, employee personnel
concerns, mental health issues, life span
issues, sexuality issues and underlying
issues of addictions. As well, sessions
address the needs of survivors of the Residential
Schools Legacy, victims of historical trauma,
abuse, domestic violence, and survivors
of a loved one's suicide, sudden accidental
death, and other traumas and losses.

"Being
Me, Being Free"™ offers programs classified
under two headings: Outpatient Treatment and
Intensive Outpatient Treatment.
OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT
Outpatient
Treatment programs vary in length of time
and level of intensity. Day-long and multi-day
programs utilize Eyaa-Keen's onsite meeting
space at 547 Notre Dame Avenue, and provide
traditionally based trauma treatment and psychological
rehabilitation. Individual sessions are offered
through the week, and group sessions take
place over the course of a weekend.
INTENSIVE
OUTPATIENT TREATMENT
Intensive
Outpatient Treatment is a more intensive and
integrated process offering sessions in residential
settings, and formulated to provide a more
in-depth and thorough healing, change and
development process. Multi-day programs take
place outside of Winnipeg, in rural locations
conducive to comfort and healing, where participants
reside onsite during the duration.
