Spirit of Our Youth
Providing culturally-based programs and services to Indigenous individuals, families, children & youth
WJS Canada subsidiary, Spirit of Our Youth, provides culturally-based programs and services to Indigenous individuals, families, children and youth across Canada. Their programs provide help for emotional issues, abuse, mental health concerns, abandonment and addictions and offer support to families in crisis.
With the help of Cultural Resource Coordinators and the involvement of community Elders, Spirit of Our Youth brings familiar teachings like sweats, smudging, pipe ceremonies, feasts, dances, traditional healing, language and customs to help reconnect their clients with their Indigenous culture and help them heal.

"A lot of the time people tend to pity someone with disabilities but it’s not pity that they need. They need to be treated for who they are, with respect."

"I think it’s so important we create a place where kids feel safe to grow, to find out who they are, and be able to take that into the world as adults."
