At Community Wellness Center Crisis Program we welcome homeless at-risk youth.
When the youth arrive, these vulnerable people are often distraught. They are scared, sick, hungry and exhausted. Our first priority is to meet their basic needs:
• Medical attention
• Nutritious food
• A safe place to sleep
We provide compassion and support as caring adults, and a chance to start fresh.
Along with safe and supported housing. They can also receive substance misuse counselling, treatment for mental illness and support with finding a job and a safe place to live when the youth leave us.
Crisis Program is free of charge for as long as they need to because getting through a crisis takes as long as it takes.
Community Wellness has purchased the space with generous funds and have volunteers lined up for construction. This grant will allow nonprofit to transform this space into a safe and comfortable environment.
