Traditional Aboriginal Healing Methods Diploma Program

 

This program emphasizes traditional healing methods by providing students with the unique opportunity to develop self-awareness and the mental and spiritual healing so often needed by care givers.  An appreciation for native culture and the uniqueness of being a native person are combined with studies to develop specific knowledge and skills in the use of traditional healing methods when working in this field of study. The program of study has been tailored for a variety of learning styles.

The program utilizes existing courses of study within the General Arts and Science program, as well as some which have been especially tailored for Aboriginal students learning styles and need to explore their heritage.
