Your Chance:

As a Therapy Assistant with Recovery Supports Day Program, you support clients living with mental health and addiction concerns through participation in recovery-oriented therapeutic, recreational, social, leisure, and skill-development programming. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you support participants in identifying strengths, building practical life skills, enhancing wellness, fostering social connections, and engaging in activities that support their recovery goals. In this role, you support participants in individual and group settings, helping them engage in their recovery journey. You facilitate and co-facilitate therapeutic, psychoeducational, recreational, social, and leisure-based groups that promote wellness, skill development, confidence, and social connection. You encourage participant engagement in programming, provide individual follow-up and support, and contribute to a welcoming, inclusive, and recovery-oriented environment that fosters growth, participation, and a sense of belonging.
