NEW: RaYSTART
RaYSTART (Ray Striving Towards Addiction Recovery in Transitions) is a new program at Resource Assistance for Youth (RaY) within the Department of Mental Health and Addictions aimed at supporting youth age 29 and under who are exiting substance use treatment or mental health facilities and need ongoing support in community. The program is voluntary and participants must be willing to access RaY (located in West Broadway community). Participants do not need to identify as struggling with addiction to be referred.
