Our Impact

For 40 years, the Jean Tweed Centre has provided support, services and a safe place for those who need it most. Each year, we provide counselling and care to over 1,900 women – touching and impacting the lives of 10,000 people including children and their families. By building life skills and healthy habits to overcome challenges with substance use, gambling and mental health concerns, we help women and their families build a new start for a better future.

Last year, we helped:

OVER 1900 WOMEN AND CHILDREN SERVED

OVER 10,000 LIVES IMPACTED

740 women found their path forward through our Intake Program, where their unique needs were assessed and matched with the most appropriate support and services.
218 women were served through our Supportive and Transitional Housing Programs across five locations: Jean Tweed’s own Palmerston House and Broadview, Addictions Supportive Housing (ASH) and Bathurst Street (both in partnership with HLMS), and Elm Avenue Housing (in partnership with the YWCA). Our housing program provides affordable, permanent housing to women-led families facing under-housing and substance use or mental health challenges. Through partnerships, we ensure women access the comprehensive support needed to navigate their recovery and rebuild their lives
517 women were served through our Withdrawal Management Service, Stabilization & Support Program, and Continuing Care, providing essential support for detoxification, stabilization, and ongoing care to ensure they receive the help needed at every stage of their recovery journey.
190 women and families were supported through parenting programs such as MK2 Child & Adult Day Treatment, Pathways to Healthy Families, and Strengthening Families, highlighting our holistic approach to recovery, which includes the broader family unit.
130 women were supported through our work with those involved in the justice system. These programs included release from custody, addressing issues of addiction, mental health, and reintegration into society.
287 women were served through our Telemedicine services, enabling them to remotely access a Nurse Practitioner for essential health care. This service helped break down barriers for women unable to attend appointments in person, ensuring they received the critical care needed.
268 women were served through our Community Intensive Treatment Program, which provided structured, day-based support for substance use and gambling concerns, offered in a hybrid format with both virtual and in-person options
305 Women were served through our Substance Use Live-In Programming, which includes Cumberland House and the Broadview Live-In Treatment Program. These programs provide vital live-in care, helping women build a foundation for long-term recovery
