New Mission Announcement<br />

Human connection is the core of hope and resiliency. Building hope<br />

and resilience is the core of <strong>Distress</strong> <strong>Centres</strong>. After a significant process<br />

of consultation with our supporters and communities, <strong>Distress</strong> <strong>Centres</strong><br />

is changing our mission statement to reflect this:<br />

“We foster hope and resilience<br />

one connection at a time.”<br />

We all need to experience connection in order to feel empowered<br />

and supported in our lives. We get to benefit from this through our<br />

family, friends, and through services like <strong>Distress</strong> <strong>Centres</strong>.<br />

The individuals who are supported by <strong>Distress</strong> <strong>Centres</strong> tend to<br />

experience their frustration and thwarted needs in isolation, and are<br />

often desperately in search of necessary human connection and an<br />

emotional safety net. Our programs foster connections that have the<br />

power to transform lives and create lasting social impact.<br />
