At Phoenix Society, healing is personal. Sometimes, it sounds like music.

Music therapy is part of our trauma-informed, person-centred approach to care. It creates space for self-expression, emotional awareness, and connection.

Service recipients have shared:

“Music therapy is one of the highlights of my week… It has become a cornerstone to my weekly recovery plan.”

“Music helps me get to feelings I didn’t even know were there but need attention.”

During Music Therapy Month, we celebrate the power of music to build connection, reduce stress, and support recovery, one note at a time.

We recently hosted our first Community Resource Fair. We are grateful for the connection, learning, and collaboration that filled the space.

Thank you to all the organizations who joined us, shared their knowledge, and took the time to connect with our community. So much information was exchanged, meaningful conversations were had, and new relationships began, exactly what this event was created for.

This was our first fair, and we’re hopeful it won’t be our last. We look forward to continuing to bring together partners and communities who align with the Phoenix model of care and share a commitment to connection, collaboration, and community well-being.

Thank you for showing up and being part of it. 💙

The rink became a space for connection 💙

We were honoured to be invited to Celebrate Recovery alongside community partners at the Vancouver Canucks game, helping raise awareness for mental health and addiction recovery in a place where thousands gather.

Thank you to Recovery Day BC for bringing organizations together and creating space for curiosity, learning, and real dialogue. And thank you to the Canucks for using their platform to amplify community care and awareness.

Awareness starts with conversation.
And last night, there were many.

Phoenix Society

Phoenix was established to initially support people with drug and alcohol addictions on their recovery journey transformation. In that process, the Society’s founders, Michael and Ann Wilson, saw that people flourish when conditions exist to meet their needs, hopes and dreams and that this happens in a community transformation providing reciprocal support and contributions.

Since 1989 the Society has grown from an idea, to its first recovery house, then additional recovery houses, and now is a multi-faceted service provider that helps people achieve remarkable success in their lives. Phoenix has helped over 30,000 people address their addiction and related issues.
