Our Programs

Our Harbour’s support for its residents living with mental illness goes well beyond providing friendly, affordable places to live. Our programs help residents build relationships, enhance their quality of life, develop valuable tools for daily living and promote their own recovery.

Facilitated by one or two volunteers each, these program activities offer an opportunity to socialize safely, help make friends, and break the isolation that characterizes people struggling with mental illness.

A monthly calendar typically includes: recreational activities, relaxation activities, skill-building activities, and workshops.
