The
Catch a Fish Not a Buzz Program ® for Youth is not government
funded. We are a fee for service agency which provides a unique and innovative
Rehabilitation/Education/Wellness program.
We are an independent not-for-profit corporation and
registered charity, designed to meet the unique needs of young people and
family members from diverse backgrounds to include and not restricted to
Aboriginal, Métis and Francophone. |
It's a well known fact
that substance use/misuse/abuse, misplaced anger, conflicts, and other
unresolved issues is a foregone conclusion in our present day society. These
and other issues that may arise if left unresolved or mismanaged can be
subjected to repercussions, and may result in negative consequences. Statistics
show most young people have experimented with some form of substance
use/misuse/abuse or risk-taking negative behaviors such as: alcohol, tobacco,
illegal drugs, over the counter and prescription medications, gambling,
sexual-experimentation, anorexic and bulimic tendencies. The lack of effective
Education, Prevention, Intervention, Rehabilitation and Wellness programs is a
major concern to youth, parents, educators, public health agencies, police,
churches, and community. Our mandate is to facilitate rehabilitation, create a
safe and confidential environment in which to explore issues provide and
develop coping/problem solving skills, moving towards a new healthier
life-style. We have developed and implemented a variety of programs that are
culturally sensitive, by blending mainstream information with Aboriginal
Teachings to help with the process of re-integration back into the Family,
Community and the Education system. Whether short or long term, individual
sessions, group settings or healing circles, we work towards developing
realistic goal setting, family mediation, conflict resolution, anger release,
and other quality programs including the 16 qualities of life, in raising
awareness for those who want to create a lasting change through individual and
spiritual growth.
