A Message from Tara
Mental Health and Addictions have never been so front and center as more and more people need help. It is unfortunate that many people are struggling.
Sara Riel is committed to meeting people where they are at and providing the support they need. Sara Riel has expanded this support to be even more encompassing and has done so with increasing its programming.
| |  |
|
The Sara Riel commitment to all of you is that we are your most essential partner.
In the last few months, employment services has doubled, new housing support has been provided, family workshops have been introduced and we still continue to help people with case management, respite, peer support, housing, mentorship, employment, portable housing, the warmline, and the 1-2-1 project for loneliness.
We believe that everyone can reach their full potential and we provide the tools to get you there.
Tara Snider
Chief Executive Officer
