Indigenous Recovery Solutions Inc. is driven by a mission to foster healing and resilience in Indigenous communities through a Metis-rooted, holistic approach to recovery. In partnership with the Otipemisiwak Metis Government--the self-governing Metis Nation within Alberta, founded in 1928 and representing over 70,000 Metis citizens, Indigenous Recovery Solutions Inc. is proud to launch New Beginnings, a transitional housing initiative grounded in Metis ways of healing and community care.

Guided by Metis values of kinship, mutual aid, and cultural pride, this program blends evidence-based recovery practices with Metis traditions, ensuring participants reconnect with their heritage while building a strong foundation for lifelong wellness. The program supports relatives on their recovery journey while honouring Metis governance, intergenerational wisdom, and land-based healing traditions.

New Beginnings is deeply committed to cultural safety, anti-racist practices, and the advancement of Indigenous health equity.
