An Integrated Family Approach
Working with a Healing Centred Engagement (HCE) approach, Nōmina recognizes the importance of loved ones and community engagement as part of the healing process. We recognize that healing does not happen in isolation. Recovery from any mental health disorder acknowledges the time, patience, and an abundance of strength our loved ones have provided.
Our comprehensive family integration programming is designed to support those affected by their loved one’s mental health journey. We acknowledge the profound impacts and sacrifices our families make as part of this process.
Nōmina offers exclusive family intensive programs intended to unite the constellation of support as part of the journey to wellness.
Private, Confidential, and Refined
Nōmina Wellness @ Forbidden Plateau is nestled away in the healing wilderness of Vancouver Island, making our secluded location ideal for your healing journey. Confidentiality of all of our clients is one of our cornerstones, we take a number of steps to ensure that your confidentiality and privacy is protected. Our main lodge facilities boast private bedrooms (with an ensuite bath) a therapeutic spa, and meals prepared by culinary chefs. The intimate size of our facility allows us to tailor our program to each of our client's unique needs. Our secondary dwelling, Margaret House, features shared accommodations with access to the same program offerings and all other amenities.
Intakes are done at scheduled intervals (on Fridays and Saturdays) to help facilitate the easiest transition into care. To optimize healing, we work with top industry professionals to integrate various aspects of treatment, including medical professionals, dieticians, massage therapists, and other movement specialists.
We believe in supporting you through every stage of healing. Our robust aftercare planning starts when you arrive. All clients who complete their treatment program, as well as their family members who are involved in their programming, are able to participate in our supportive virtual care community for one year post treatment. We continue this level of support with our integrated second stage and intensive outpatient options for those who desire a greater level of support before returning home following their inpatient program.
