Programs & community

Support for the Journey.

A place to settle, people to talk with, and a meaningful day can make the next step feel possible. Our work brings those foundations together.

Housing in Ohsweken

A Place to Start.

We have administrative space and housing capacity for two Six Nations community members. Talk with our team about availability, your circumstances, and the support you are looking for.

For our reintegration program, we are planning a daily routine that combines employment and responsibilities with evening meetings focused on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

01

Housing and stability

A stable place to stay gives people room to focus on their next steps. Clear routines and responsibilities are central to the reintegration program we are developing.

02

Work and training

Work offers more than income. It brings routine, responsibility, skills, and a chance to contribute.

We intend to work with Grand River Employment and Training (GREAT) to develop trade pathways and certifications, including First Aid and Mental Health First Aid. Employers, trainers, and mentors can help shape these opportunities.

Healing and culture

Elders and traditional healing are central to our approach. We make room for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing, with respect for the effects of intergenerational trauma.

We work alongside Native Horizons, drawing on more than 30 years of programming experience. Trauma-informed work, including the writing of Dr. Gabor Maté, also helps inform our understanding of healing.

04

Returning to community

We are working toward Section 81 transfer pathways and Section 84 community release planning, so eligible people can return with cultural connection and practical support.

These pathways are still being established. Section 81 transfers require a correctional services agreement and individual approvals. Section 84 gives Indigenous communities a role in release planning. Referrals will depend on eligibility, individual plans, and the required agreements and approvals.

Community connection

The Women’s Circle.

Our Women’s Circle creates a place for conversation, connection, and community support. It began on September 15, 2026, and joins the men’s wellness work of 7Sticks.

Hattie Anderson helped start the circle during her Willis College practicum with SixMiles Solutions. By September 29, the group had held its third meeting.

To find out about the circle and upcoming meetings, get in touch with our team.

Community safety

Working Together.

Safer communities grow through relationships. Miles joined the Six Nations Community Safety Table at its second meeting and is helping develop its written work. Tim Bucci brought departmental leaders together around community safety and mental health.

Tim has also offered to work alongside and mentor Miles, sharing experience that strengthens these connections.
