Our Addictions Worker is responsible for providing addictions counselling, education, support, and referrals, as well as for promoting healthy lifestyles and healthy choices. The Addictions Program works with women at the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal and also First Nations and Inuit women and men in the community who want support around their substance use. People can access services individually or by attending a group offered by the program. People can self-refer.
