The land based program provides a safe and comfortable environment for healing.

 

It offers youth the opportunity to build relationships, develop self esteem and  a strong aboriginal identity while teaching responsibility, values and beliefs.

 

It involves relearning or learning a traditional way of life that is passed on to youth by Elders.

For the past 10 years, CJAY has helped

save lives through its tried and true

program components.

 

One of the main and most successful

components of the program is what we

refer to as Nutshimit or land based

program. This program runs every

second week for a period of six days.

 

This is a program that teaches the

youth self-sufficiency and builds

resiliency skills.

It nurtures a sense of belonging and gives the youth a purpose in life.

The program provides opportunities to channel energy towards healthy risk-taking

choices and calms anxious youth, especially those with ADHD.
