Diamond Bailey Healing Centre
Our Purpose
To support Indigenous people on their healing journey by meeting them where they are by providing culturally appropriate supports.
To support Indigenous people in finding purpose and living a well-balanced life that will create opportunities for them.
About Us
The Diamond Bailey Healing Centre (DBHC) was recently created to meet the needs of the urban Indigenous community for an Indigenous-led and culturally appropriate healing space. Here, residents can access healing programs along with stable housing.
The DBHC supports each person's unique wellness journey, encouraging their active participation and choices. Healing is recognized as a personal and non-linear process, with residents guided by individualized wellness plans.
The DBHC also provides culturally safe housing with Indigenous-led programs that include land-based learning, traditional healing, and access to Elders and Knowledge keepers.

DBHC Approach
Everything the DBHC does will be through a cultural and trauma-informed lens that builds trust.
Provision of inclusive traditional cultural practices and teachings (First Nations, Metis, and Inuit, focusing on Mi’kmaw teachings as the DBHC is located in Mi’kma’ki).
Use of the Turtle, 13 Grandmother Moons and 7 Sacred teachings as the backbone to develop and build on approach, programming, scheduling, supports, and activities offered.
Work with clients to build their personalized Medicine (wellness) Wheel based on their specific needs and interests and collaboratively set expectations for them.
Provide community connection through other MNFC wraparound services and programming.
Provide a plan for those community members who successfully transition from the DBHC by staying connected to them through Auntie/Uncle Visits and mentorship Opportunities.
Assist clients to see and realize their vision for the future after DBHC;
Our program is not an ending, it’s a new beginning, a new chapter in their journey.
