A Message of Thanks
With summer upon us, we hope that you are able to enjoy the lovely warm weather. It's been over a year since COVID-19 began to impact our lives - and what a challenging time it has been. However, thanks to you, our clients continue to receive high-quality treatment and have a strong start on their journey to recovery.

In this issue, you'll see how, with your incredible support, Renascent's teams nimbly responded to the demands of this environment to deliver exceptional programs and services to our clients.
With sincere gratitude,

Donor Support Makes Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program Possible
When Pat found out she had a drinking problem, there were two feelings that welled up within her – disbelief and denial. Willing to accept immediate help, she was enrolled in Renascent’s innovative Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) - a newly created program funded through the generosity of Renascent donors to help us meet the growing demand for services and safely provide treatment throughout COVID-19.

To the donors who have made this program possible for the last year, Pat has a simple thank you message: “There are so many people who need treatment and do not have the funds required to pay for it. We are all lucky there are donors who choose to help. Without donors there are many people who would not have access to the addiction treatment services they desperately need. Their generosity is deeply acknowledged; I am so thankful for them.”
Lifting Families Up: Kristy's Story
When Kristy Stamp’s husband began treatment at Renascent for addiction and mental health issues, she knew she too was in need of help. As the spouse of someone experiencing addiction, Kristy wanted to begin her own journey toward recovery and receive support. Renascent’s Essential Family Care Program was everything that Kristy needed.

Last year alone, Renascent's donors supported the recovery of more than 250 family members and loved ones through it's Essential Family Care Program. “The program helped me navigate the changes and obstacles I continue to face along my husband’s recovery journey,” said Kristy.

On June 17, Renascent named the recipients of its 2021 Yielding Family Legacy Recovery Award – T.P. Sheehan, Sullivan Treatment Centre, Volunteer; and Cynthia Langill, Graham Munro Treatment Centre, Addictions Counsellor and Registered Psychotherapist. The award winners were announced during Renascent’s annual Guardian Angel Recognition Donor Event, which was held virtually for the second year.

All of which credit Renascent, its staff and donors for the critical role they play in supporting their recovery from addiction.
