The AHWS is an inter-ministerial initiative, jointly managed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the Ontario Native Affairs Secretariat, Ontario Women's Directorate, and 15 Aboriginal organizations and First Nations.

The Healing Strategy is not a compensation package. Rather, it is a mechanism to support community healing initiatives which can address the legacy of physical and sexual abuse suffered while attenting a Residential School. The Healing Strategy is an initiative intended to support community-based healing for Aboriginal people-Inuit, First Nations(on and off reserve) and Métis people-who have been affected by the legacy of physical and sexual abuse in the Residential School system. It is also intended to help Aboriginal individuals, and communities start the process of healing and thus improve their health and well-being. 1, record 2, English, - Healing%20Strategy

La Stratégie de guérison n'est pas un programme d'indemnisation.

La Stratégie de guérison est une initiative qui a pour objet de soutenir les mesures communautaires de guérison à l'intention des Autochtones - [Inuits] - Premières nations (vivant à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des réserves) et Métis - touchés par les effets de la violence physique et sexuelle dans l'ancien système des écoles résidentielles.

Therapeutic touch... is based on the belief that there is an energy field radiating outward almost five centimetres from the body. The flow of energy can be fast, slow, congested, pulsating, pounding, quiet or tangled. An experienced practitioner can feel and access [this] energy and... use rhythmic hand strokes above the skin's surface to smooth the energy field to a rhythm of harmony. Therapeutic touch is being used in delivery rooms, palliative care units and AIDS hospices. The College of Nurses of Ontario has recognized it as a healing strategy. [It is] not a cure and is only used as a complement to traditional medical treatment.... X-rays have shown that the callus tissue that forms around a bone fracture during the healing process is evident in two-and-a-half weeks rather than the usual six when therapeutic touch accompanies traditional treatment. 2, record 4, English, - therapeutic%20touch

A Holistic Approach ... All Native cultures teach the interconnected nature of all parts of life. This teaching implies that abuse ... cannot be healed by attempting to heal isolated individuals apart from their family and their community. It also means that specific healing programs and strategies that work with extended families and with whole communities are needed. 1, record 5, English, - healing%20strategy
