Why is this project important to the community?
The Paws in Recovery Drop-In Program is a safe and inclusive space for Windsor’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community, who often face barriers to accessing culturally competent addiction and mental health supports. Many community members experience isolation, stigma, and a lack of tailored services, which can make recovery more difficult. By offering peer support, educational resources, and a trauma-informed environment, the program helps participants build resilience, develop coping skills, and strengthen connections, fostering healthier individuals and a stronger, more supportive community.
