Copy of Kimberly's story: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Kimberly’s path to improve her life started with the Toronto Community Action Team

“My journey with The Neighbourhood Group began at a very low point in my life. I was struggling with heavy substance use and finding myself in unsafe situations where I was fearful for my life. Due to the negative connections and acquaintances I made while using substances, I decided to leave my home to live in a tent. I felt safer there than I did at my own apartment. It was then I heard about The Neighbourhood Group.

“The support from everyone at The Neighbourhood Group has helped me to this day as I continue to achieve my self-identified goals and grow past the problems I had.”


2,500+ Face-to-face interactions in 2022-2023 provided case management support to people struggling with complex substance use issues
