Teen Services

7 Day Fire Youth Camp

Aseshate:ka'te Grief Services was able to have the 7 Day Fire Youth and Elder Camp for the first time August 10-16, 2019 from a grant from the First Nations Development Institute. The camp was a day camp full of activities that helped youth learn about their culture and language, sense of belonging within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and learn alternative and enriching ways to heal from grief, while also connecting with elders within the community.

 

The goal of the 7 day fire was to help create a healing community for our youth. This was accomplished by having workshops that promoted emotional, mental and physical well being and discussions around the fire that promoted spiritual and cultural awareness by learning about who they are as Haudenosaunee people. 

​

Youth have different coping mechanisms in place when dealing with grief issues. They may have a harder time understanding what their feeling and sometimes feel misunderstood or alone in their grief. The 7 Day Fire broutght together youth to heal together utilizing cultural teachings and hands on activities while processing their grief.

 

The camp was for youth ages 13-18. After the 7

Day Camp all youth had access to a once per month support group for the remainder of the year.

 

Due to the pandemic in March 2020, the last two monthly groups and community dinner to celebrate their achievements were unable to be completed.

ONLY OFFERED WHEN FUNDING IS AVAILABLE
