Healing Journey Programs - Phoenix and Oskinigiikwe

Healing Journey is a harm reduction program based on the Ojibwe tradition “Zhoo-way-nah-dig”, or “taking care of one another”. It is a unique approach designed to improve the overall quality of life for chronic substance abusers. Phoenix Project is a partnership with the Division of Indian Work of Minneapolis to extend outreach to 13 – 17 year old girls at risk of being exploited. Oskinigiikwe Program was based on the success of Healing Journey, and provides personalized case management for younger women and teens.

“Grace is a 19 year old mother of one child. Upon entering the Oshkinigiikwe program, she was using drugs, unemployed, living in an abusive situation. She was also overwhelmed by being a parent and reached out to us for help. Within five months of MIWRC programming, she has stopped using all drugs, learned new parenting skills, found her own apartment, and ended the abusive relationship. She is currently looking for full time work and continues to enjoy learning about her Ojibwe culture, which she credits for helping her turn her life around.”
