Helping Spirit Lodge Society

Helping Spirit Lodge Society (HSLS) is a not for profit organization founded as a result of the community discussions and decisions made during community forums through 1990. The United Native Nations originally sponsored the first project and opened office for the society on February 1, 1990. The organization is dedicated to provide wrap-arround services to Women and Children fleeing violence.

The women, children and other clients have access to: First & Second Stage Transition Housing and Programming; Subsidized Housing; and Long Term/Permanent Housing Support (Journey Home Program).

To support women moving through trauma the Helping Spirit Lodge Society provides therapeutic interventions including counselling, acupuncture and massage. This organization primarily seeks to help indigenous women and children but do not close its doors to others.
