“A former client identified that Robert’s House helped them learn the coping skills needed to not only live independently but also to re-enter the world of employment and navigate challenges within their family dynamic. This client mentioned how important the sense of community was to their recovery, even though they didn’t notice this at the time of living at Robert’s House. This has helped them to foster an appreciation for recreating this sense of community in other capacities, specifically through CMHA Calgary’s Peer Support program. They shared fond memories of their time at Robert’s House and wanted to say thank you to all who helped them through some challenging times.”
– Adapted from a Supportive Living Team Lead’s narrative
This year, our Housing, Outreach, and Support Departments saw their programs expand and grow through changing our model in our Post-Discharge Transition homes to offer 24/7 awake-at-night staffing to our clients, opening up 5 beds in the new Horizon Ridge complex, and expanding the age range to our Continuing Connections clients.
