Volume 33 Issue 1, 2 & 3 | Posted: March 28, 2019
The Sisters of St. Ann have donated $500,000 to a local rehabilitation program for people struggling with mental illness.
Connections Place, a community centre-style clubhouse offering mental-health services and support, opened in Victoria in February.
“People in Victoria are waiting for this,” said Georgina Patko, executive director of Connections Place. “It will be a place for people living with mental illness to find opportunity and hope. A sense of belonging is created through meaningful work and relationships which arise from the members’ interests and are linked to the operation of the clubhouse.”
