November 2009-New testimonials to come soon.
- I began receiving services from NACM twenty years ago. I can honestly say that if it were not for Bertha and the others at NACM, I would have given up. Everyone else in my life was still drinking or using. NACM was my lifeline. There are not enough words for me to express my gratitude, or to explain the depth and grace of NACM’s effects on our lives. The only way I can begin to give thanks, is to try my best to keep living with the teachings, to keep that alive for my family and all those I come in contact with. And of course to continue to keep NACM in my constant prayers.

- I am writing you today as a rehabilitated person through the use of Pritchard House programming and services. For the past year since I left the Pritchard House I have never forgotten the valuable support and guidance that the program and staff provided. I am a success story and it feels great to be able to say so. The support, safety, food, compassion and overall genuine care and concern will never leave my memory for as long as I live. In summary, I really honestly recommend for others to come to Pritchard House. It is my sincere belief that it truly is the best place to be to become a success story with sobriety. I leave you with an everlasting, never ending…….THANK YOU! - - - - Linda R. MB
- I have NEVER forgotten the period of growth when I became a client of the center, 15 years ago. I really believe this program saved my life! I am now a kookum, a homeowner, have made positive strides in my home community. - - - - Alma S. MB
- The Woman's Sage Healing Program for me was something new and different. I learnt to spend more time on myself for a change self-care, cause I usually spent more time with others, family before, but I still do especially with my grown up children and grand children...I have seen my self being more assertive and not being irrational when I approach a crisis like finding faults, accusing or mad at a family member I can confront them with ease, like not yelling and swearing. I found myslf to talk in a calm, quiet voice and nt swearing. I learnt about communication, self care, self esteem, family issues, family mapping which was fun to do...I thank the Creator for my sobriety and Prtichard House. I enjoy going and being at NACM. It is a warm, and welcoming place. Keep up the good work at NACM. They're very good programs. Meegwetch - - - - Joyce T.
- I am honored to be a intake resident at Pritchard House. I came to Pritchard House to be healed and to cleanse myself through our Traditional way of life, ceremonies, something that I have neglected to do for the past 20 years of my life, and most importantly, forgetting who I really am and that's a First Nstion person of this new world that had been desecreated by disease, pollution and all other chemical pollutants...Pritchard House has dramatically changed my life, my way of thinking, my way of seeing things and most importantly, who I really am...I thank all the staff at Pritchard House in making me a better person and also teaching me about the traditional teachings that had existed for thousands and thousands of years....Thank you so much - - - - Brian G.

- The staff at NACM (whether past, present, or future) have a job that can make a difference in someone's life, and for that they should feel very proud. They've made an impact in my life, people before me, and many after me. Those who want to stop the self-destructive behaviour have a choice and NACM is there to help. I know a lot of it had to do with me wanting to be there, but there were many things and people who helped along the way. All three outreach cousellors gave information with sincere care...There is nowhere else like NACM from its staff, the culture (especially for some who know nothing about our Native heritage), the kindness, and even the building itself, is all sacred. I want to sincerely thank NACM. Sincerely thank-ful - - - Shanda J.
- I am very proud to have experienced Pritchard House and all the staff, counsellors and people from outside of Pritchard House who come in to share and join in the programs offered to people. I was very unsure if this was the place for me, but the longer I stayed the more at home I felt. Thank you Pritchard for helping me discover the good side of me. - - - - Robin M.
- I am one of your former clients. I have since then graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree...Thanking you so much for your assistance in my healing journey...take care and may the creator take care of all of you...Sincerely - - - - Pamela P.
