“Re-opening the Welcome Centre and Recovery College was really like a breath of fresh air. It was a new opportunity, a new beginning. It felt like we were finally entering a phase where we could connect with each other again. We found that the people who came to our in-person services again were so grateful to have the opportunity to connect with people in very gentle, recovery-focused, and wellness-focused ways. It was a very exciting time for the staff. It was an exciting time for clients. Also, a time that created some challenges as people weren’t really sure how to connect with each other again and what that meant. So, each of those spaces allowed people to do that in a way that was individualized and meaningful.”
– Jytte, Team Lead, Recovery and Peer Support
This year, our Community Mental Health and Wellness Departments saw the re-opening of our Welcome Centre and Recovery College after an extended closure, the doubling of our School of Peer Support initial cohort, and the launch of our new online emerging adult course EQUIPPED.
