Health Mental HealthEden Health Care – Spiritual Care
The primary purpose of the Spiritual Care program is to: Assist individuals and their significant others in searching for meaning and purpose in the context of the pain, suffering and confusion caused by mental illness. Bring compassion, to instill hope, and to facilitate the healing of each person on their journey to recovery and to serve as a connecting link between a patient’s faith community and the patients and staff.
Health Mental HealthEden Health Care – Music Therapy
Eden Health Care Services currently employs one full-time music therapist, in a unique arrangement with health facilities in the South Central part of Southern Health – Santé Sud. The majority of the therapist’s time is spent at long-term personal care homes, working with residents living with dementia and other challenges. For people living with a mental illness, music therapy can provide a space for the safe expression of feelings, often in ways that words alone could not achieve. Music can also provide meaningful occupation, distraction, motivation, or relaxation. The social nature of music can help draw people out of the isolation that is so often a part of an illness like depression.

During this time, we developed an intimate relationship with the land that represents an unbroken cultural thread transmitted from our ancestors to current members of the community.

Through our cultural teachings & practices, our relationship to the land has supported our health and well-being since before recorded history. York Landing (Kawéchiwásik) is now home to our community, but our ancestral home at York Factory (Kischi Wáskáhikan) continues to be at the coast.
