The Sacred Turtle Woman Healing Center (STWHC) and Portage College are excited to announce a new strategic partnership aimed at enhancing addiction and mental health support services while providing unique educational opportunities for students.

This partnership combines the strengths of both institutions to deliver comprehensive healing and practical learning experiences. STWHC will offer work placements for students enrolled in Portage College's human services programs, providing them with hands-on experience. This initiative allows students to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings and offers the potential for them to join the STWHC team upon graduation.

Recognizing the diverse needs of clients, STWHC and Portage College will work together to develop tailored education plans. This ensures that clients receive education and support suited to their specific challenges and schedules. By integrating Portage College's curriculum with STWHC’s holistic healing practices, both parties aim to create a "circle of care" that combines traditional academic learning with alternative therapies, providing comprehensive support for individuals on their recovery journey.

The partnership will also focus on developing post-treatment programs leading to certification, enhancing the employability of individuals completing treatment at STWHC. Furthermore, the collaboration extends to engaging with industry leaders in sectors such as Oil & Gas, Construction, and Health Care to support the program and create job opportunities for graduates.

Martin Larson, a representative from Sacred Turtle Woman Healing Center, stated: "This partnership is a significant step forward in our mission to provide holistic healing and support. By combining our resources with Portage College, we can offer unparalleled educational and practical experiences to students while enhancing the care we provide to our clients."

Nancy Broadbent, President of Portage College, also shared her excitement: "Portage College is excited to collaborate with the Sacred Turtle Woman Healing Center. This partnership will provide our students with invaluable hands-on experience and support the community's need for comprehensive addiction and mental health services."
