Holistic, culturally-rooted aftercare plans give returning Members a promising chance of success reintegrating into the community. 

For victims of crime or trauma, we provide counseling, medium and long-term support groups, and access to the groundbreaking Sexual Assault Response Team. Safety planning and domestic violence assistance contribute to environments for healthy healing. 

Overall, our Justice Program links members to relevant cultural teachings, ceremonies, mental wellness aid, addiction recovery tools, and legal guidance. We journey with all who wish to transform suffering into empowerment. Discover the true meaning of justice at Seabird Island.
