Our Mission
Karis is a non-profit organization offering bed-based addictions recovery programming, counselling and support for women in the Okanagan.
We opened our doors in May 2008 with programming available to vulnerable, at-risk expectant women, women with babies or toddlers, women working towards reunification with their children and single women with no dependents, living in poverty.
Programming is offered daily within a supportive home environment with capacity for 36 women and up to 15 babies/ toddlers. The Karis Support Society program is a tiered program in which participants can access up to 5 years of support from first stage recovery all the way to off-site aftercare and includes the parenting recovery program, recovery for single women, on-site aftercare and off-site aftercare for parents and single women.
Our participants are women whose experiences of trauma, abuse or crisis have led to substance misuse or mental health challenges which have negatively impacted their lives and they are now actively working on personal recovery.
Our mandate is to empower and equip individuals with skills so that they can successfully transition back into society.
