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 />
