Services to the Indigenous Community ARCH has a long history of working with Indigenous people. From our beginning in 1987, we have seen many indigenous clients and have been involved in many First Nation communities. In 1997,we began to work with an advisory group to develop “Healing Together: Our Sacred Journey - An Integrated Sexual Abuse Intervention and Healing Program” across North Central Alberta. Our psychologists are registered under the Non-Insured Health Benefit Program (NIHB) as well as the Indian Residential Schools Residential Health Support Program (IRS RHSP) and Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Program (MMIWG). These programs are funded by Health Canada. Under the first program, you need to have “treaty status” to receive psychotherapy and counselling. The second program provides psychotherapy and counselling for former Indian Residential School (IRS) students, or their family members. The third program provides psychotherapy and counselling for individuals impacted by murder or disapperance of an Indigenous women or girl. Since these programs are funded by Health Canada, if you fall under either of these programs, you can receive psychotherapy and counselling free of cost. Jordan’s Principle Jordan's Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have. At ARCH, we have experience assisting out clients to access psychological services through Jordan’s Principle, as well as ability to provide and direct bill psychological services under Jordan’s Principle.Among variety of psychological servies that can be covered through Jordan’s principle, psychotherapy and specialzied psychological Assessments, including Psychoeducational Assessments, are most commonly accessed by our clients.
