Spirit of Our Youth

Providing culturally-based programs and services to Indigenous individuals, families, children & youth


Honouring Indigenous Traditions Through Community-based Support and Healing


As a Taproot Community Support Services subsidiary, Spirit of Our Youth provides culturally based programs for Indigenous individuals, families, children, and youth in Alberta. Their programs offer support for mental health challenges, emotional well-being, trauma, addictions, and family crises in a culturally responsive environment.

With the guidance of Indigenous Cultural Liaisons and community Elders, Spirit of Our Youth integrates traditional practices such as sweats, smudging, pipe ceremonies, feasts, dances, traditional healing, language, and customs into programming. These teachings help individuals reconnect with their culture and support healing and well-being.
