Join a Peer Support Group: Reconnect & Recover
Our peer support groups provide a safe space for people experiencing mental health and/or addiction challenges to share, be heard, and uplifted by others. We strive to maintain a warm and welcoming environment and foster mutually supportive relationships that empower recovery, personal growth, and social action.

Recovery: A Journey of the Heart will explore the role our heart plays in our mental health. This weekly, workshop-style, interactive group allows peers the opportunity to discover new and exciting ways of looking at recovery.  This is an excellent workshop if you are thinking about applying to the Krasman Centre’s PREP Program (Peer Recovery Education Program).
Thursday, April 13, 20, 27, May 4, 11 (5 Sessions)
 10:00 am - 12:00 pm | Online Via Zoom

Set aside some time to have FUN and LAUGH!  Join like-minded people in an exploration of entertaining games. We will play word games, scavenger hunts, online games, charades, and board games, sing, dance, and make up funny verses. Trust yourself to let go and be FREE. Start every weekend off with a blast.

Thank you to our Incredible Team of Volunteers

In honour of National Volunteer Week, we would like to thank our incredible volunteers for their dedication and support of Krasman Centre's Warm Line & Peer Crisis Support Services. Did you know that the Warm Line receives over 6,000 calls a month? We could not have answered that many calls without the support of our volunteers!

We welcome new volunteers to apply!
