Harm reduction: Toward the Heart
The Junction is a new type of Recovery Community Centre that helps participants build recovery capital and wellness.
What to expect
The Junction supports people in expanding their personal, social, and community resources. It is a hub of community-based support for people 19+ who self-identify as maintaining or seeking recovery or wellness from substance use.
Aftercare services and ongoing wellness supports are crucial to ensuring people continue to receive the support they need on their path to recovery. But the path to recovery and long-term wellness does not end at treatment.
How to access

Sessions are open to people who are aged 19 or older who self-identify as maintaining or seeking recovery or wellness from substance use.
