I am encouraged by the fact
 that theRedPath approach blends the scientific understandings and is able to validate and translate the traditional practices of the Circle, Ceremony, Balance and Creativity and how they affect interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, stress management 
and adaptability.

GET AN ABORIGINAL-SPECIFIC PROGRAM THAT WORKS

We have been offering onsite program training across Canada for the past several years.

All programs follow TheRedPath model that blends clinical and cultural approaches offering techniques to cultivate a healthy mind, body and spirit. Those trained in any of TheRedPath programs will receive a program manual and supplement materials, a template for report writing, certification, license agreement and ongoing program support. Access to assessment tools is also available.

Overview

Whitepath Consulting has developed programs based on TheRedPath model, which is a new approach using emotional and social competency skills as an alternative to the cognitive behavioral approach. This new innovative model has proven to be successful across the country in decreasing substance misuse and violence. It has also been found to be successful in educational retention and job readiness.

The model was developed in response to a need for Aboriginal specific programming to deal with the many issues that Aboriginal peoples face. The programs were piloted in a forensic Aboriginal population to determine their effectiveness. The results found an increase in all areas of emotional and social functioning.

A variety of exercises and discussions are used throughout the program to acquire and practice skills. This process leads to personal insights into the emotional self, social self and interaction with others. These skills learned are then internalized providing for better life choices and decisions based on problem solving behavior, perspective taking and person perception.

We offer:

*NEW* The TheRedPath Child & Youth Program *NEW*

TheRedPath Child and Youth Program consists of 12-sessions and targets areas of behavior associated with substance misuse, violence, bullying and gang related problems. The program is broken down to target three age groups—7-10 years of age, 11-14 years of age and 15-18 years of age. It was developed not only for the abuser but also for those who find themselves as the victim.

The RedPath Emotion Management Program

TheRedPath Emotion Management Program is based on the Aboriginal holistic approach to healing and self-wellness, which addresses the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the participants. The core element of the intervention is to skillfully deliver tools in a group setting to provide participants with knowledge and awareness that all events and behaviours are interconnected with the past, present and future. The key concepts, used to facilitate action and change, are identification, communication, reflection and experience of emotions.

TheRedPath Addictions Treatment Program

Across the country substance misuse continues to be a growing concern. There is a need for an alternative approach to substance abuse treatment and aftercare. TheRedPath Addictions Treatment Program is 21-sessions offering skills to address the underlying problems associated with addictive behaviours.

TheRedPath Living Without Violence Treatment Program

Domestic violence in Aboriginal communities continues to be a serious problem. There is a need for an alternative approach that is effective for both the victim and the abuser. TheRedPath Living Without Violence Program is 24-sessions, which offers support and skills, in a safe environment, to address the underlying problems associated with violence.

TheRedPath Pre Employment Program

Unemployment rates for Aboriginal peoples are far above the national average. There is a need for an alternative approach to employment readiness. TheRedPath Pre Employment Program is 15-sessions designed to increase the participant’s emotional and social functioning which enhances the individual’s chances for success in the area of employment.
