Struggling to find work because of what life has thrown at you (mental health, addictions, 

family violence, trauma, displacement etc)? You have tried but something always seems to 

need more attention…… when will it be time for me?

We are here for you! Our employment program is designed to help you on your journey of

overcoming by providing a non-judgmental safe space to help get you where you need to 

go. Most of us have experienced some form of trauma or barrier that needs to be worked

financial independence through a great job.

coping, personal development, employment readiness and job searching. Attend a weekly

1:1 appointment with Employment Counsellor. Attend minimum of one session with each

specialized consultant

Your efforts are rewarded!
