Healing the Spirit

Abstract

This article addresses overcoming barriers in respect to life histories of trauma,
completing literacy training programs, and the benefits of a life skills program
combined with a literacy program. The Six Nations Literacy Achievement Centre
has combined the life skills and literacy programs with great success. The Insights
program is a pre-employment program that is fundamental to the Six Nations
Literacy Achievement Centre. This part of the program provides life skills in
self-development.
