To help facilitate healing from the trauma and memories associated with the Residential School system, St. Kateri Church, one of the community's four churches, is hosting the "Healing the Child Within" program. The event is a gathering for Indigenous people, providing a platform for prayer and a safe space for Elders and Youth to connect. Participants share stories, engage in prayer for healing, and foster a stronger sense of community

The Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) is strengthening their community-responsive programming. These initiatives focus on supporting Indigenous women's wellness and fostering healing through honouring and sharing spiritual teachings and traditional land-based ceremonial practices.

Funding from the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF) will support Every Parent Matters, one of the many programs facilitated by the Mission. It is a listening circle with guidance by Elder Dr. Bob Philips that offers a space for people to grieve and help cope with the loss of a child.

Giiwedin Anang, meaning North Star in Anishinaabemoin, guides Indigenous families through the complex web of child welfare disputes. The essence of Giiwedin Anang lies in recognizing that true healing and reconciliation cannot happen if Indigenous children continue to be disproportionately removed from their families and communities.

In many Nunavut communities, resources and support are scarce, compounding the challenges faced by grieving families. Isaksimagit Inuusirmi Katujjiqatigiit ("Embrace Life Council") has taken on the initiative of assembling and distributing Grief Care Packages as a way to connect with families to show compassion and empathy and offer much needed support after a tragic loss.

In the spirit of fostering understanding and healing, the Atikamekw Nation Council organizes Koski Matametan, a large-scale event that brings together First Nations from across Quebec along with the general public. The event includes commemorative and ceremonial events as well as cultural celebrations. A dedicated psychological support team ensures attendees have a safe space for emotional well-being.

To help address the intergenerational trauma and facilitate healing, the Women of the Dawn Ministry hosted the Healing Hearts Conference, a 3-day workshop for Elders, Survivors, and intergenerational survivors, in Regina, Saskatchewan, allowing attendees to learn together through traditional healing methods.

The weekly Wellbriety Circle at the Dilico Anishinabek Family Care Centre in Fort William First Nation, near Thunder Bay, Ontario, offers a culturally based approach to support healing from addiction and intergenerational trauma. The program uses cultural values and teachings to address not only addiction but co-occurring disorders and the deep wounds of intergenerational trauma. While rooted in Indigenous cultural practices, the program welcomes participants from all backgrounds.

Residential schools have left wounds of generational trauma and cultural disconnection not just on those who attended the institutions, but on their children, grandchildren and other family members. In Thunder Bay, Ontario, the Indigenous Ministry understands the need for intergenerational healing and connection and has created the Residential School Survivor Listening Circle, a place for sharing stories and finding healing.

The "Rock Your Roots - Walk for Reconciliation", which takes place on September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is more than just a walk. Now in its sixth year, the event is a joined effort to combat racism, honor Residential School Survivors, and build bridges between Indigenous, non-Indigenous, and newcomer communities.
