Emotional resilience is what helps us bend without breaking when life gets tough.

You can build resilience by:
• Naming your emotions without judgment
• Practicing self-compassion during hard times
• Reaching out for support when needed
• Creating routines that nurture you

Resilience isn’t about avoiding struggles. It’s about developing the strength to move through them.

Some of the most meaningful moments at Thorpe happen in the quiet. A shared laugh in the common area or a conversation that reminds someone they belong.

Our communal areas are designed to be safe, welcoming, and full of little comforts. Because recovery isn’t just about the hard work - it’s also about connection, routine, and rebuilding trust in yourself and others.

The comfort of a warm jacket or a dry pair of socks can mean everything to someone starting their recovery journey. Many of our clients arrive without basic clothing or winter gear.

We’re currently accepting clean, gently used or new:

Winter jackets
Mitts and gloves
Toques
Socks and winter boots
Hoodies and sweaters

If you’re able to donate, you’re helping us create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for people rebuilding their lives.

“I never thought I’d make it past day one. But now I wake up with hope.”

Recovery is deeply personal. No two journeys are the same, but every one is valid. At Thorpe, we celebrate the small wins as much as the big ones - getting out of bed, showing up for group, reconnecting with family, or asking for help.

Healing is not linear. We honour each step and walk beside our clients for as long as it takes.

Recovery is not a solo journey. It involves education, reflection, connection, and support from others who understand.

This photo captures one of many group sessions held in our gym — a space where clients gather to learn, participate in workshops, and build skills for life beyond treatment. Topics may include emotional regulation, relapse prevention, relationship building, and more.

Group work helps reduce isolation, builds confidence, and allows people to see they are not alone.

Addiction can affect anyone, and recovery looks different for everyone. National Addictions Awareness Week is a time to talk openly about the challenges of substance use and the importance of accessible, stigma-free support.

At Thorpe Recovery Centre, we see every day how courage, connection, and community can change lives. This week is about raising awareness, sharing resources, and reminding people that help is available.

Kindness is not weakness. It is strength. And in the world of recovery, it can be a lifeline.

Today is World Kindness Day. Whether you are offering support to someone in recovery, treating a stranger with compassion, or learning to speak to yourself with patience and care, you are making a difference.

Small acts of kindness ripple outward in ways we may never fully see. Keep choosing kindness. It matters.

Practicing Boundaries in Recovery

Healthy boundaries are a key part of maintaining wellness in recovery. They help protect your energy, support your growth, and build safer relationships.

Setting boundaries might look like:
- Saying no without guilt
- Making time for rest and personal needs
- Limiting exposure to triggering environments
- Asking for space when emotions run high

Boundaries are not about shutting people out. They are about protecting what matters most as you heal. The more clearly you define your boundaries, the stronger your foundation becomes.

Today we pause to honour and remember the courage of those who served. For veterans and military families, this day may carry extra weight.

We also recognize that some veterans carry invisible wounds. PTSD, addiction, and mental health struggles can follow long after service ends. If you or someone you know is seeking support, know that there is help. Healing is possible.

We see you. We thank you. We walk beside you.

A huge thank you to Michelle Fisher and all the families and students at Growing Together Preschool for blessing our clients with an incredible donation of socks.
