Working with Residential School Survivors and their Families Disruption of Indigenous family life and the loss of traditional values were a legacy of the Residential Schools. This resulted in widespread psychological, social, and spiritual injuries which further lead to numerous dysfunctional coping mechanisms. ARCH takes a holistic approach to dealing with symptoms like addictions, domestic violence, sexual offending, and other forms of abuse of self or others. We see the underlying causes and the need to get to the core of the issues. At the same time, while keeping our focus on underlying causes and the need to get to the core of the issues, we have a deep respect for Indigenous values and culture. In this regard, we are committed to working with you and to staying with the healing process for as long as it takes. While assisting you to access the Indian Residential Schools Residential Health Support Program (IRS RHSP) , we offer a non-judgemental, respectful and safe space within which you can explore your unique experiences and the impacts they had on you.
