Support Services

Support for you and the people you love

Peer-Based Substance Use Support

All of our services are provided by people in recovery themselves, which is the foundation of everything we do. Whether you're looking for one-on-one support, a group setting, community connection or help navigating what's available, there's something here for you.

All services are free of charge.

Open Hearts

A weekly group for family members, partners and loved ones of people in recovery. A space to connect with others who understand — without judgment.

Meets Tuesday evenings, 6 to 7pm.
