SUPPORT GROUPS

ONGOING SUPPORT GROUPS are available to women staying at AEH or living at RH, and to women in the community. Support groups vary in their content in order to address specific issues related to healing and change. SMART Recovery groups support women who have chosen to abstain or are considering abstinence from any type of addictive behaviour.

Outreach services are available to women who are not in a residential program and/or live in isolated communities where their ability to access services in Campbell River is difficult. Services include an on-site Outreach Worker, referrals, and -where possible- access to a safe home. Outreach Services also include community education about CRNITS programs and services, information on violence and abuse, and education on violence prevention/intervention. CRNITS also provides counselling through the Stopping the Violence program.
