Shawanaga Healing Centre

The Shawanaga Healing Centre works to support the health and well-being of community members through programs and services that reflect our values, traditions, and needs. The centre is guided by the Seven Grandfather Teachings and follows a wholistic approach — caring for the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of wellness.

Services include mental health and addictions counselling, cultural and land-based healing, case management, and community support. The team works alongside other service providers, both on- and off-reserve, to ensure members receive the care they need in a way that honours who they are and where they come from.

Whether you’re reaching out for yourself, a loved one, or someone in the community, the Healing Centre is here to listen, guide, and walk alongside you on your path toward healing.
