Meet Nala, our unofficial welcome/ good morning committee! Nala has just recently started coming to work casually throughout the weeks. Chances are if you’ve walked the halls here in program Nala has greeted you every time like it’s the first time ever meeting you. She’s a huge people- person- wagging tail, happy hops and the sweetest most innocent eyes.

Nalas favourite activities include- greeting every visitor like a long lost friend, playing with anyone who is up for some fun and collecting endless pets & snuggles.

Basically, she’s here to remind us all how good it feels to be seen, welcomed, and loved just as we are!

Happy Friday day of fall 🍁 Just like the leaves that fall, we are reminded that we always have the chance to begin again 🍂 ✨ Recovery isn’t about perfection…it’s about choosing, again and again, to return to hope, compassion and care for yourself. Every moment is an opportunity to refresh and start anew 💛

In free time, we encourage that clients engage in values based activities- for some clients this involves getting t-shirts and painting them with fun designs that they can take home with them as a reminder of growth and experience in their time during our program!

Between the back to school, September to-do lists, errands, messages you haven’t answered, and the people who depend on you — it can be easy to forget that you’re a person too. One that needs (and deserves!) rest, joy, kindness and a moment to breathe.

Reminder: you are not a machine, you are a human 🤍

This week can you make time to check in with yourself? Can you find a bit of space for what makes you feel loved, grounded, and like yourself? How can you offer yourself compassion this week? 🌿
