About ACSA
Aboriginal Counselling Services of Alberta
Healing with Dignity. Culture at the Centre.
Aboriginal Counselling Services of Alberta (ACSA) is a community-rooted non-profit dedicated to supporting Indigenous women, children, and families across Alberta. Guided by Elders, lived experience, and Indigenous teachings, we deliver trauma-informed counselling, healing circles, and cultural supports that honour the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.
Our Mission
To provide culturally grounded, accessible counselling and healing programs that strengthen Indigenous families and communities while honouring traditional knowledge and practices.
