Info

In 2010, the Kele’s supported housing program acquired a garden plot in Pandora Park Community Gardens, at about the same me Triumph apartments did. The groups have amalgamated and meet every Friday. Kele members who aend the gardening group learn all there is to know about gardening, from planng to harvesng and also benet immensely from being outside, meeng other gardeners and taking home freshly picked produce. The group is a supporve, safe and empowering acvity, an important part of the rehabilitaon and recovery process. Last year we grew enough to prepare a delicious community meal, which Kele members helped harvest and cook for each other. This meal was prepared at the Kele Drop-In. There is consistent parcipaon and interest . Members have described the group as soothing, peaceful, healing and “the best part of my summer”. Here is a poem wrien by a client inspired by the garden group. Where Is Your Quiet? Asleep Silently I wait for chaos to die down Every day it’s the same Where is the quiet this fast paced world has to oer? Quiet is created either on the inside or out What does it look like? Quiet is necessary It restores, it heals and it teaches the soul My quiet is contained within four walls There is variety and it is full of life Quiet can be shared or self-guided mine is both It is simple, it is rewarding and it’s Found across the street in a garden.
Outreach Program The Kele Outreach Services program assists members to connect with appropriate community agencies in order to have full access to services and resources they require. The program provides outreach services to Kele members in treatment facilies – hospital, mental health teams, detox and treatment centres – through weekly visits. The outreach sta work with hospital sta and social workers on the community care plan to bridge members back into the community successfully. In Spring 2011, the Kele began a new program to bring even more awareness to the community about the services they provide in order to reach out to more mental health users.
