Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we focus on restoring right relationship healing that is collective, relational, and guided by community wisdom. Every service, from therapy to circle, is grounded in the understanding that when we heal ourselves, we heal the land, and the land in turn heals us.
Our model integrates:
- Cultural Safety & Sovereignty: Centering Indigenous values, languages, and protocols in all care practices.
- Trauma-Informed & Survivor-Led Care: Guided by lived experience, cultural humility, and historical awareness.
- Relational Healing: Building community-held spaces of trust, reciprocity, and mutual accountability.
- Land-Based Wellness: Honoring the Earth as an active partner in healing and renewal.
- Accessibility & Equity: Offering free, and low-barrier services that meet people where they are.
Through this approach, UIC weaves together modern clinical practice and traditional knowledge, creating a living model of care where culture is medicine and healing is a shared act of ancestral remembrance and resurgence.
