Recently, Create Your Statement had the privilege of working with our local Healing Lodge Of The Seven Nations.
The Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations is a Native American youth residential treatment facility which provides a safe and caring healing environment for all adolescents, and their families, in need. Their wellness program is grounded, daily, in balanced traditional, cultural and spiritual values and practices. These values and practices foster respect, honesty, generosity, strong cultural identification and hope for positive life changes. The Healing Lodge treatment program integrates traditional, spiritual and cultural values with chemical dependency counseling to create a holistic approach toward healing. Because our mission closely resembles their vision, it is the perfect facility for us to provide our programs. Our desire is to interface with these vulnerable youth in their time of healing, goal setting and encouragement for a positive healthy future.
Ophelia and Jenny have just wrapped up the two 7-week curriculums, COMPASS for young men and REDFLAG for young women. These programs make a strong impact in the lives of the youth we serve.
So many of these young adults come from broken homes where trauma is commonplace in regards to unstable living conditions, violence and substance abuse. Our programs inspire leadership, promote healthy relationships, increase self-esteem and encourage goal setting. This education furthers the possibility of a brighter tomorrow in the lives of these amazing young people.To see more information on the Healing Lodge, visit their website here.
