Notre objectif est de favoriser l'autonomisation des personnes pour qu'elles puissent relever les défis de leur relation avec la consommation de substances et le jeu. Pour ce faire, nous établissons des liens directs entre la toxicomanie et le jeu, la violence et les traumatismes fondés sur le genre, et les effets de l'oppression.Nous sommes une organisation à but non lucratif syndiquée qui fonctionne comme un collectif féministe modifié afin de fournir une gamme de services à nos communautés en se fondant sur les valeurs fondamentales de la pratique anti-oppressive et des soins axés sur le client. Le fait de fonctionner comme un collectif féministe modifié permet à Amethyst de rester enraciné dans les communautés avec lesquelles et pour lesquelles nous travaillons, ce qui signifie que le collectif s'adapte et change grâce au modèle de consensus et en fonction des besoins de la communauté. Notre fonctionnement comme un collectif nous permet également de respecter nos valeurs fondamentales à tous les niveaux du fonctionnement, des opérations et des services du collectif.Amethyst offre une variété de services de traitement de jour (y compris la thérapie individuelle, la thérapie de groupe, les ateliers et l'engagement communautaire), des services de promotion de la santé (partenariats communautaires et engagement par le biais d'ateliers et d'événements), l'engagement communautaire et l'éducation du public.CE QUE NOUS OFFRONSAu Centre Amethyst, nous sommes passionnées par la prestation d'excellents services à nos communautés.
