Kwanlin Dün First Nation Men's four- week Land-Based Healing program is held about 15 km southwest of Whitehorse by the serene shores of Jackson Lake on the traditional lands of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation.

The program provides trauma treatment using a variety of methodologies to address the underlying issues related to addictions, depression, anxiety, grief & loss, issues related to residential school & colonization.
The Kwanlin Dün Jackson Lake Wellness Team offers pre-camp and aftercare support to all participants who wish to connect with the team.
