The Salvation Army - Canberra Recovery Hub

Canberra Recovery Hub recently launched a new 12 week structured Day Program based on our site in Braddon, which is a part of their out-client alcohol and other drug support services in Canberra.

At Canberra City Salvos we talk of the importance of community and connection - we're all in recovery from something. Whether that be alcohol and other drugs, damaging behaviours or mental health struggles, we all need a place where we can build safe connections with others.

We also strive to be a community where we each belong and meaningfully contribute to the belonging of others.

Participants in Day Program regularly connect within our community spaces, and we’re richer for it!
