Pathways to healing

CSC’s Pathways initiatives

CSC's Pathways initiatives is an Elder-driven intensive healing initiative based on the Indigenous Medicine Wheel, also known as the Four Directions Medicine Wheel. Pathways goes above and beyond the CSC services already available to all Indigenous offenders. It is for inmates who show genuine motivation and commitment to making emotional, mental, physical and spiritual changes.

The federal pathway

In response to the national inquiry, the Government of Canada has come together to create a plan for departments to support systemic change to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls (MMIWG) and Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (2SLGBTQI+) people.

The federal pathway is led by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada.
