Umbrella has been providing mental health and substance use supports to individuals, and their loved ones, since 2000.
Our services include outreach, recovery housing, counselling, groups, harm reduction and education.
Our team meets people wherever they are at in their journey and we provide meaningful support to help them achieve their personal goals.
Together, we can reach recovery.
Outreach workers have lived experience, and sit with you to create comprehensive recovery plans, simplify system navigation, and provide steady peer support. We provide stability in an unpredictable and daunting landscape.
The emphasis at each of our houses is individualized support tailored to the resident’s specific needs. No limits are placed on duration of stay, residents are free to pursue work, volunteering, or school, and must pitch in and complete daily chores and attend a weekly house meeting.
With two clinical counsellors and two masters’ practicum counsellors, we can offer free counselling to those experiencing substance use challenges, and to the loved ones affected by it.
