What We Do

Rainbow Lodge is a residential support program for men to transition back into the community following a period of incarceration, with a focus on healing from trauma. We work through intensive case management that runs alongside our daily groups. Clients are supported by weekly access to a psychologist.

First Nations clients have access to cultural programs and specialist staff to support them to heal in a culturally appropriate way. This also allows for reconciliation through education for non-First Nations clients.
