Generosity from TD Bank Group Expands Vital Peer Support Program
Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services is thrilled to announce that TD Bank Group (TD) has awarded the organization a TD Ready Commitment Grant of $40,000 to continue and expand the Recovery Peer Support program.
This past weekend, Rideauwood was featured on An Hour to Give, the Rogers TV and Country 101.1FM show dedicated to showcasing local charities.
By providing trauma-informed care, we can support people in reducing the risks and problems caused by addiction while also supporting, educating and developing strategies to increase their quality of life that trauma and chronic stress have impacted.
Rideauwood provides access to short-wait counselling services through Counselling Connect, which helps youth, young adults and adults who are dealing with substance use, gambling or gaming use challenges, or supporting a family member or loved one who is.
Whether you are an existing client of Rideauwood, on the waitlist for our other services, or just exploring your options, we recommend starting with a Counselling Connect session!
The wait for services is short, and you can schedule your appointment online in a quick and easy single-session format.
Help is just a click away.
