🤝 Reaching Out for Help: The first step in recovery is reaching out for support. Whether it’s connecting with a therapist, joining a support group, or entering a program, this stage is a courageous move toward healing.

📚 Understanding Mental Health & Addiction: This stage focuses on learning about symptoms, triggers, and coping strategies like mindfulness or journaling to build awareness and clarity.

🌱 Making a Change: Here, individuals replace harmful patterns with positive habits, create structured routines, and attend therapy or support sessions regularly.

✨ Discovering New Purpose: Rediscovering passions, building supportive relationships, and setting meaningful goals like volunteering or exploring hobbies is key in this stage.

💖 Staying Committed: Recovery continues with maintaining progress, using relapse prevention strategies, staying connected to supportive communities, and prioritizing self-care.

Every step forward brings hope and healing. Together, we can build a brighter future.

Today, we honour the courage, sacrifices, and resilience of those who served to protect our freedoms and peace. This Remembrance Day, we pause to reflect on the bravery and selflessness of veterans, service members, and their families.

What an unforgettable evening at the 2024 Harmony Ball✨! We are incredibly grateful for everyone who came out to support My Second Home, our women’s addiction recovery program. This year, we raised over $250,000! This support will help us continue empowering women, creating a long-lasting impact on their lives.

The evening was filled with excitement and generosity, from the silent and live auctions to the photo booth and incredible live performances. Some of the auction items included Leafs and Raptors tickets, Pizza Nova gift baskets, stunning jewelry, an extra large Parmesan wheel and so much more! The evening also consisted of an incredible live Jersey Boys performance. It truly was an evening to remember.

We would like to thank all of our guests, sponsors, volunteers, guest speakers and Copper Creek Golf Course, for making this evening possible. Together, we are creating pathways to hope and healing! 🏡💚
