Meeting You Where You Are Now, and Walking with You to Where you Want to Be

We’re Patrick and Lloyd, offering Harm Reduction, Wellness Coaching, Grief & Loss Circles and Cultural Strength Training delivered in First Nations Communities by Invitation.

Lloyd and Patrick bring decades of first-hand experience responding to addiction and overdose crises, and generational trauma. They understanding the urgent, triage-level culturally-grounded interventions communities need to strengthen local wellness, care, and resilience.

Our approach is inquiry first: we listen, attend to what the community identifies as priorities, and co-design culturally grounded harm reduction strategies and healing pathways.

  • This pillar focuses on:

    • Harm reduction practices that respect lived experience

    • Addressing addiction as a response to pain and disconnection, not moral failure

    • Grounded dialogue about substance use, trauma, and community stress

    • Supporting communities to lead interventions and make decisions locally

  • Healing is relational and community-based. Circles create safe, trauma-informed spaces where grief, loss, and intergenerational trauma can be processed collectively.

    This pillar focuses on:

    • Culturally grounded healing and strengthening circles

    • Supporting community members to share, grieve, and restore connection

    • Facilitating both immediate crisis response and long-term emotional wellness

    • Ensuring circles are led with respect for local protocols, Elders, and knowledge keepers

  • Communities know best. This pillar strengthens local leadership so circles, harm reduction practices, and wellness supports continue after Lloyd and Pat leave.

    It includes:

    • Mentorship and training for community facilitators

    • Sharing culturally aligned frameworks and handouts

    • Strengthening local structures for ongoing wellness

    • Supporting relational accountability and continuity

  • Effective care is never one-off. Lloyd and Pat provide follow-up support to maintain relationships, sustain community care infrastructure, and ensure local wellness systems continue to function.

    This pillar focuses on:

    • Remote check-ins via Zoom for individuals, groups, and leadership teams

    • Mentorship and guidance for sustaining practices and relational networks

    • Supporting communities to integrate lessons learned into long-term care strategies

    • Ensuring Indigenous knowledge, ceremony, and local priorities remain central
