Warriors Way provides intervention and community reintegration services to Urban Indigenous Peoples and Ethno Cultural residents of Edmonton. Our project provides two streams of services, one that provides prevention and intervention services to BIPOC who are involved with the criminal justice system and the other stream provides community reintegration to BIPOC who are being released from incarceration.

• We will engage participants while they are still incarcerated or if the participants are already living in the community.
• We can support the participant in accessing short-term or long-term housing that is conducive to a healthy lifestyle.
• We will assist the participant in identifying natural and existing supports who will help with stability as part of the release planning.
