Archwood 55 Plus is meeting a need in the community, especially after the pandemic where the need to get seniors out of their homes for mental and physical stimulation has never been greater. However, we can’t do it without you. Please give generously and make a difference in the quality of life for our seniors. Your donation will go a long way to continue providing just the right programs and services and help people reconnect with the community in a safe way.

Community Announcement

Stigma: The stigma around substance use is one of the biggest barriers for people seeking and receiving treatment for addiction. It is also a barrier for those individuals who have tried to access services in the past. Stigma is often displayed in the form of discriminating attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. We often use words to describe people and their health conditions that reflect our attitudes and approaches to helping them. Sometimes the words we use can be pejorative and counter productive. International studies by the World Health Organization show that people with alcohol and drug use disorders are among some of the most stigmatized of all health conditions.

Who We Are
