Dear Friends of Caritas,
Caritas School of Life is a distinguished Therapeutic Community in Canada, established in 1985, and is recognized for its comprehensive, long-term approach to treating addiction and concurrent mental health disorders. This holistic treatment method addresses the physical, mental, spiritual, social, emotional, and educational needs of individuals within a structured and supportive environment.
Notably, Caritas School of Life operates the only 24-month Men’s Bed-Based Program in North America and an In-Patient Men’s Detox Centre. Additionally, it provides three Outpatient programs, Addiction Services for Women, and Men & Women’s Withdrawal Management, along with supporting families through its Family Support Group.
The Caritas Foundation, in support of Caritas School of Life, continues to rely on your donation as it has a profound impact and pressing need for continued support for the Caritas School of Life’s programs. Our programs provide comprehensive care and support for men and women battling addiction and concurrent mental health disorders, offering them a path to recovery, self- sufficiency, and reintegration into society.
Over the past year, there is a growing number of women seeking help for addiction, necessitating a larger, more specialized facility to accommodate and effectively treat them. The current resources and space are not sufficient to meet this rising demand.
As such, Caritas School of Life needs to fundraise for a new women’s addiction treatment facility. A new facility would allow Caritas to implement comprehensive treatment programs tailored specifically to women. This includes not only addressing the addiction itself but also offering support for related issues such as mental health, trauma, and family support. A dedicated residence would provide this secure and nurturing space, essential for successful rehabilitation.
Fundraising efforts are crucial to realize this vision, as they provide the necessary financial resources to build, equip, and operate the new facility, ensuring it can deliver the highest quality care and support to women in need. Your support directly impacts the lives of the women we serve, offering them hope and a real chance for a better future.
We invite you to join us at our annual gala event, The Harmony Ball, on Friday, October 4, 2024, at Copper Creek Golf Club in Kleinburg. Together, we can continue to transform lives and support clients on their journey to recovery.
Thank you for considering our request and for your ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in our community. We look forward to your support and the opportunity to share the successes of our program with you.
Warm regards,
Maria Zigouris MSW, RSW Executive Director
