REACH for Recovery

REACH: Recovery Empowerment Advocacy Community Hope

The REACH for Recovery program might be the program for you if you want to:
• Learn about things you can do that will be helpful in your recovery
• Socialize with others
• Participate in things to do throughout the day that will boost your mood
• Look for ways to get more connected to your community

In order to be able to participate in REACH for Recovery programming you must be over the age of 16 and are living with a mental health concern.

The program teaches skills that will assist you in your recovery. No cost or low cost social and recreational activities in the community are provided as well as volunteer opportunities that help you develop a stronger connection to the community. All of our programming is delivered by Peer Support staff. When you are involved in programming delivered by Peer Support staff it means that help provided is based on a supportive, professional relationship between people who have lived experience with a mental health concern. This common experience may be relative to their own health, or that of a loved one. The Peer Support principles are centred around inspiring hope, empowerment and recovery. The REACH for Recovery program provides support from trained Peer Support professionals who have peer experience and work one-to-one with people and in groups to set and achieve their goals.
