The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, and sometimes having a space of understanding can make all the difference. Lifewise would like to extend an invitation to our Christmas Day Open House for anyone who may be in need of that safe space during Christmas. We will be serving cold plates, warm soup, sweet treats, and good company.

If you are interested in attending please send along a message to admin@lifewisenl.ca, give our provincial office a call at 709-753-1138, or call our Provincial Warmline 1-888-753-2560 so we can ensure space and safety.
