Success Stories

The Drug Intervention Program taught me the difference between drug addiction and poor decisions, to manage my anger better, and better coping skills. Think before you act, say, or do. I learned to be honest and put myself in others’ shoes.

QUEST Case Management has been a great help with resumes, cover letters, and has given me the strength to put myself out there. Now that I have aged out, I am looking forward to giving back by volunteering at the centre.

Youth QUEST Central has been like a second home, whether it was coming in for food or mental health support. With their services and guidance, I worked at Hopewell Rocks last summer and it was amazing. I would NOT have been able to do it without them.

This year, I graduated from the Impact Learning Centre after 6 years of pulling myself through rough patches and things I never thought I would face. I finally managed to make my goal a reality. The teacher has my highest respect, he has changed me for the better, taught me so much not just the curriculum but made sure I was doing my best and had any help I needed.

I have been going to Youth QUEST Central since the day after I turned 16. Since then, I’ve been met with kindness, acceptance, and honestly more help than I could ever ask for. Because of this program, I went from being a young, shy kid with no place in the world to a flourishing young adult who can do anything I put my mind to. I got a start on my career, I have gone back to school, and I faced a fear and started counseling. I thank all of the staff and volunteers who have helped me in my journey.

Transitional Housing has given me a supportive and stable living environment and because of this I am graduating high school and applying to a Child and Youth Care Worker program at college. I want to help people break the cycle I have experienced and give them the same opportunities and support that I received here. I also feel that staff keep me accountable and push me to keep moving forward. I think I will soon be ready to move into my own place and be okay.

My Drug Intervention worker holds me accountable for my drinking but does not judge me. I have received good advice on life.

Rachel, 16

After I was discharged, I called the staff, and they always took the time to talk to me even when I was not doing well.

Annie, 17

I have become better with my language, anger, and have built a better relationship with my family and I have stayed sober.
