“VIOLENCE GOES AGAINST ALL OF OUR TRADITIONAL VALUES AND TEACHINGS.  WE NEED TO RENEW & STRENTHEN OUR TRADION BY RESPECTING OURSELVES—AND EACH OTHER.” 

VISION STATEMENT:

 “We will provide a safe and secure environment where holistic healing is maintained.  We will strive to provide support in a positive, non-judgmental and non-biased environment.  The Team will aid in the prevention of abuse by sharing information and resources to enhance awareness and understanding of family violence.” 

Our Philosophy

The Creator placed everything on Mother Earth to show us and teach us respect toward everyone and everything therein.  Respect for one another is very much a part of our tradition, while the duality of all relationships is also a part of the Iroquoian responsibility.  All being equal, fear or violence amongst each other has no place in our hearts or spirits.

YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

DO NOT KEEP IT A SECRET
