Westminster House Society

Addiction is such a brutal disease and I was in so much denial before I went to Westminster House that I put myself and my child in dangerous situations. I gained back my self respect, integrity, and ability to parent by sticking out the 90 day program and learning how to live in recovery. It was hard work and difficult at times but I owe Westminster House my life. The aftercare program was one of a kind and helped me get grants for school so I was able to get a job when I was ready.

Westminster House gave me a home. I came into treatment very lost, and afraid. I soon came to see that I was in a safe place where I could finally heal. The staff has gone above and beyond for me. After my 90 days in primary I moved into the 2nd stage transitional housing, as I had decided to stay in New Westminster for the amazing recovery community I had become a part of.
I work at the house now, and have to honor of being a part of other women's recovery journey. I also attend Vancouver Community College on a scholarship provided to me by Westminster House, as they encourage women not only to recover, but to build themselves a stronger future.

I went through Westminster House 6 months ago and it changed my life for the better. The staff are so caring and supportive. The skills they taught me have allowed me to build a life that I love. Westminster House saved my life. As an alumni, I am still very connected to the house and it’s given me a community that will support me no matter what.

WMH has helped me in more way I could have ever imagined. I came in so broken but they supported me through all of my hardships. I can honestly say now that I know I deserve to live a happy and fulfilling life. The alumni are amazing women and so supportive of eachother. I wouldn't wanna be apart of any other community than this one.
