Anyone over the age of 18 who is interested in strengthening their health and well-being. Our courses and groups may be particularly appealing to individuals affected by mental health and/or substance use challenges who wish to explore recovery, or those who are supporting a family or friend in recovery. No referral is needed.

Typically courses and groups are facilitated by two individuals – one an expert by education, working in their field of expertise; the other an expert by personal experience who will share their experience as part of the course or group. Those who are experts by personal experience are called peers. Many of our groups and courses are solely facilitated by peers.
