National Addictions Awareness Week

This week, we join communities across Canada in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and strengthening hope for everyone impacted by addiction.

At Charlford House, we see every day that recovery is possible — and powerful. Women arrive at our doors carrying stories of struggle, courage, and resilience. With connection, compassion, and safe, structured support, those stories begin to transform.

This week, we honour:
✨ Women taking their first brave steps toward recovery
✨ Families walking alongside their loved ones
✨ Alumni who continue to show what long-term recovery can look like
✨ Community partners who help make healing possible

Addiction touches all of us — and so does recovery. Together, we can create a community where every person has the opportunity to rebuild her life with dignity, hope, and support.

Together, We Recover. Together, We Grow.

We’re thrilled to share that Charlford House Society for Women has joined in partnership with Together We Can Drug & Alcohol Recovery & Education Society — a collaboration built on shared values of compassion, community, and recovery.

Together, we’re building a future where every woman has the opportunity to recover, rebuild, and thrive.

💜 Celebrating Miranda — 25 Years in Recovery & a Legacy of Leadership 💜

We’re honoured to celebrate Miranda, former Executive Director of Charlford House Society for Women, as she marks an incredible 25 years in recovery! 🌟
Miranda’s story is one of courage, faith, and transformation.

In 2000, she arrived in Vancouver seeking a new beginning. When she found her way to Charlford House, she discovered not just a program, but a community — one that helped her rebuild her life from the ground up.

Over time, Miranda’s journey came full circle: from resident, to volunteer, to member of the Board of Directors, fundraiser, and eventually Executive Director, a role she held for over 11 meaningful years. Though she has since retired from her position, Miranda’s compassion, leadership, and dedication continue to inspire everyone who crosses our path. 💜

In Miranda’s own words:
“Charlford House saved my life, and gave me a life, so I quite literally owe my life to them. I never have and never will take that lightly.”

Miranda, thank you for your 25 years of recovery and for the countless ways you’ve given back to the Charlford House community. Your legacy will forever live on in the women you’ve inspired. 🌷

🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip

Thought reframing is a simple but powerful way to shift your mindset. Practicing it consistently — even just a few minutes each day — can help reduce stress, build self-compassion, and support your recovery journey. 💜
