Vision
Empowering First Nations and Inuit Youth on taking charge of their well being.
Mission
With full respect for the dignity and value of each person, the Centre provides a safe environment to each First Nations and Inuit Youth with a personally centered, holistic and culturally appropriate transition to her/his own path to well-being and a healthy life.
Program
Walgwan Centre is an accredited 12 bed residential treatment centre located in the Mi’gmag First Nation community of Gesgapegiag in Eastern Quebec. Our intake is ongoing and we welcome and assist First Nations and Inuit youth from 12 to 17 years of age from both genders. We help restore a harmonious balance between their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs while assisting them in recapturing their sense of hope, meaning, purpose and belonging. The residential program has 4 phases and is culturally based with clear indicators for each phase. In the completion of each of these phases our elders do a specific ceremony in recognition of the achievement. We also provide aftercare services for up to two years.
