What these programs do.... They call it a “continuum of care”. It's a holistic approach to healing. The correctional programs for women offenders are co-facilitated by an elder. I think that 50% to 80% of the time the program sessions have an elder with them. They have ceremonies and a culturally appropriate approach, which is very much driven by the elder.
