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.

Accessible Physician Care - Right Where People Already Receive Support

As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what truly matters: connection, care, and community.

The holiday season can be a time of warmth and togetherness, and it can also be a difficult time for many. At Phoenix Society, we recognize that everyone’s journey is different, and that this season can bring both joy and challenge.

To those who are spending the holidays caring for others, seeking support, or simply doing their best to get through each day, you are not alone. We hope this season offers moments of rest, kindness, and renewal, and gentle reminders that support is always within reach.

We also encourage everyone to check in on friends, neighbours, and loved ones who may need a little extra care right now. Sometimes a conversation, a message, or a shared moment can make all the difference.

💛 Support is available:

Su***de Crisis Helpline: Call or text 9-8-8 (24/7, Canada-wide)

VictimLink BC: 1-800-563-0808 - confidential, multilingual support for people impacted by violence or crime

South Fraser Crisis Line: 604-951-8855

BC211: Dial or text 211 for free information and referrals to community and social services

Kids Help Phone: Text 741741

Detox Referral Line: 1-866-658-1221

Roshi Clinic (Fraser Health): 604-953-6190 - culturally responsive support for South Asian communities

From all of us at Phoenix Society, we wish you a peaceful, safe, and caring holiday season, and a hopeful beginning to the year ahead.
