Thank you so much.
When we start working with women in an outreach capacity—once we receive a referral, whether it be from a hospital, police officer or other agency—we start working with the individuals in community. We meet them where they're at. We wrap around the supports right there.
We try really hard to get them into different addictions programs throughout the country. We try within Ontario first, and then we often have to go across the country. We support them in our outreach capacity while they're still in the addictions recovery program. Once they come to our stage-two housing, it's a sober living facility. We have an addictions counsellor there who has lived experience as well. She's been doing addictions services supports for 36 years. She works one-on-one with the individuals.
We work very closely with the NA community. Once the survivors leave our home, we continue with our follow-care program to ensure that they are able to stay sober and continue on a good path.
