Powerful reflections from one of our men at Restoration House.
Past - things lost to addiction
Present - rehabilitation journey
Future - hopes for the future.

Art therapy is a powerful tool to help individuals, express, explore, reflect and process.

We love hearing good news stories from our past participants, like Lisa.
Lisa messaged us this week to say that she went for a job Interview and is now back working.

Like many of our participants confidence in self is often lost during active addiction, overcoming this takes time and knowing people believe in you again.

Congratulations Lisa.
