We are incredibly grateful to host a booth at the recent Community Resource Fair at Henry Wisewood High School. The conversations with students, staff and other organizations at this event were so encouraging. The goal of this fair was to inform students of the many incredible and wonderful supports that are accessible. The focus was on well-being and to generating conversations for students to seek out supports or opportunities. It is awesome to feel so much support for our youth, whatever their path 👏🏻 #youthprograms #yc #treatment #calgary #alberta #addiction #addictionrecovery #recoverycanada #wedorecover #recoveroutloud #recovery #substanceabuse #alcoholismrecovery #addictionawareness #overdoseawareness #youthrecovery #aarc #sobriety #sober #soberliving #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #treatmentcenter #drugaddiction #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #supportcommunity #recoveryjourney
