This year across Canada, more than ten thousand people will die as a direct result of substance use.  Many more will have their quality of life severely compromised by addiction and mental illness.  Yet few people in our community know much about these issues, or understand how they can help.  Educating others is one of our primary purposes.

You can also help by sharing your experience and understanding of addiction with family, friends and the community.  You will be helping to open people’s eyes to the prevalence of the issue, and to open their minds and hearts to caring, compassionate solutions.
