Nurturing Growth,

Providing a safe and nurturing environment for Indigenous and non-Indigenous children who have experienced adversities and may have complex needs.
Healing Through Two-Eyed Seeing
At Eagle’s Nest: A Place To Soar, we believe in the power of combining traditional Indigenous wisdom with contemporary, evidence-based approaches to foster holistic healing and well-being. Our program is open to all youth, regardless of their background, and embraces the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing – learning to see from both Indigenous and Western perspectives. We also welcome applications from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Caregivers.
We incorporate the following elements:

social skills.
Respect for Indigenous Worldviews
Respect, Compassion, and Individuality.
Our philosophy of care is centered around respect, compassion, and individuality. We understand that each child has unique needs and experiences, and we tailor our programs accordingly. We are committed to providing culturally appropriate services that honor each child’s heritage and background.
Our Commitment to Cultural Sensitivity
Eagle’s Nest was founded as a direct response to the needs of Indigenous Children who had been placed in non-culturally integrated alternative homes. We understand the historical context of the Residential Schools and the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing impact of racism on Indigenous communities.
We believe all children need “Roots and Wings”
We supports both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children and youth. These are children and youth who may live with complex mental health needs including ODD, ADHD, and ARND, or who live with pervasive developmental disorders including autism and PD-NOS
What We Do
