Celebrating
Resilience
The Mémiyelhtel program supports Indigenous youth living within the traditional, unceded territory of Stό:lō Nation (specifically Chilliwack). The program provides holistic,
long-term and intensive support to vulnerable youth between the ages of 12-19 years. As captured by the traditional Halq’emeylem name, the goal of the program is to help youth be well. The Mémiyelhtel program delivers culturally relevant, dynamic, and uniquely individualized supports that create engagement and foster life promotion. The ultimate goal is to support youth to have a strong sense of identity, self-love and acceptance, while celebrating their ongoing resilience and perseverance.

The Holistic Model
The Mémiyelhtel program implements a holistic, 10-aspect model. The wrap-around services are long-term, intensive, and individualized. The program is guided by our cultural teachings. The Mémiyelhtel program is Indigenous led, not just Indigenous inspired. Engagement, positive relationships and connection are pivotal to the Mémiyelhtel program. We strive to make each of our interactions with youth meaningful and use this to serve as foundation for their future trajectories.
