🌟STAFF HIGHLIGHT! 🌟
Meet , our Supportive Recovery Program Coordinator
Shona has been working at Threshold for over 7 years. While completing her Bachelor's of Social Work, she worked on her weekends across our whole neighbourhood of care at Threshold House, Holly House, and Mitchell House.
For the past 5.5 years, she's helped create and build our nationally recognized Supportive Recovery program. It's a genuine love and care for her work that drives her to show up every day for our kids and young people - as a youth, she lost close friends to drug addiction. Now she creates the activities and education for our 4 month program, always adapting to best fit our youth's needs, learning from every person that joins us, and updating as new research informs best practices.
The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but meaningful human connection, and her work at SRP has created powerful community: one of her favourite parts of her work is Recovery Group, a gathering place for all current youth and alumni at Threshold to come every week and engage in recovery conversations. Recently she helped create a peer support role to co-facilitate each week, which has been an incredible way to see the youth graduate throughout their own recovery.
Shona's passion for harm reduction and dedicated love for her youth and work is evident every day, honouring the lives of the those she has known, and working to create brighter futures for every youth she works with, all year long 🩷
