Therapy Pause Hurts Healing | Montreal News
About this episode
The episode discusses the abrupt pause of a federal trauma support program for residential school survivors, highlighting the impact on clients and therapists.
A federal trauma support program for residential school survivors in the Northwest Territories has been abruptly paused, leaving clients and therapists in crisis. Despite March funding approval, new clients and renewals were halted in late May, cutting off critical care for those relying on therapy to heal from intergenerational trauma. Catherine Blondin and Betty Bird, longtime beneficiaries, were left in the dark—some by chance, others by force—while therapists face financial instability and ethical dilemmas. The disruption, critics say, echoes the harm of the very systems the program was meant to repair. Indigenous Services Canada acknowledged delays in payments but offered little clarity, sparking distrust and highlighting how administrative failures can derail vital healing efforts for trauma-affected communities.
