Specialized Projects and Services Throughout our history, we have undertaken specific projects and developed specialized services in response to needs presented to us. We developed an “Integrated Community Sexual Abuse Intervention and Healing Program” and conducted this program under funding through the Aboriginal Healing Foundation. The program involved more that 30 Aboriginal communities in Northern and Central Alberta. We also conducted a workshop on Community Interventions for Child Sexual Abuse in locations throughout Alberta and provided consultation to the Yellowhead program which provided a community treatment approach for incest offenders and their families. Under Corrections Canada, we provided a post-release treatment program for offenders in their home communities throughout Northern and Central Alberta. We also provided assessment and treatment services for offenders. In addition to the above programs we have provided services in a number of areas. We have two psychologists who have been qualified to provide independent assessments to the Adjudication Secretariat dealing with continuing residential school abuse claims. We have provided expert assessment and testimony in Dangerous Offendedr and Dangerous Sexual Offender hearings. We have developed intervention programs to address problems such as self- harm, fire setting, etc. and pioneered the use of distance therapy (telehealth). We design and provide Professional Assistance Programs and have a strong background in Employee Assistance Programming and employer consultation.
