Yuasni Tipi Family Treatment Centre is a 7-week residential program and can accommodate up to 8 families. We are located on the lands of the Wahpeton Dakota Nation near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The word Yuasni means “healing” in the Dakota language. At Yuasni Tipi Family Treatment Centre we recognize the significance of culture as it relates to healing and is emphasized in our programs. We honour all familial structures, and we will respectfully provide guidance and support throughout your stay.

The topics covered but not limited to, are as follows:

• Elder’s Teachings and Ceremony
• Embracing Traditional Knowledge, Beliefs, Values and Culture
• Land Based Healing
• Traditional Parenting, Traditional Roles and Responsibilities
• Pre-contact, Contact & Colonization
• Residential School Trauma & Healing
• Re-connection to Self and Family Through the Tipi Teachings
• Emotions Management & Healing Through Art
• Impacts of Grief & Addictions
• Resiliency and Healing

The 7 Sacred Teachings are introduced throughout the 7 weeks and provide the foundation for your healing.

Lastly, the families you are admitted with are the families you will complete with as we will not have any new families admitted during these 7 weeks.

We kindly ask that your family is free from all medical, legal, financial, internet banking or personal appointments during your stay at Yuasni Tipi Family Treatment Centre. Urgent medical matters will be the only exception.
