Brad's Place Addiction Treatment of Southern Georgian Bay hasn't added a story.
In March of 2010 my stepbrother, Brad, died at the age of 25 due to his drug addiction. Prior to his passing, Brad had requested assistance for his addiction but refused the support he was offered as it was not geared for youth and young adults. Brad stated, “I can’t discuss my issues in a group of old men that remind me of my father if my father is the root of my issues”.
Upon his passing I decided that I would do something for the youth and young adults in the Simcoe County area to prevent unnecessary deaths and heartaches to families. September of 2011, I enrolled in the Community Service Worker and Addictions program at Everest College. From there I gained full-time employment at a youth addiction facility located in Elora, Ontario. While working at this facility, I was able to achieve my passion for helping youth but continued to struggle with the knowledge that youth in the Simcoe County area did not have immediate access to addiction assistance. Due to a change of upper management, my employment became a difficult environment to work because the values ceased to represent my personal value system of integrity, reliability, and accountability. I recognized at this point that working there was not effective for my mental health, nor did it facilitate my initial goals of assisting youth of Simcoe County.
Brad's Place will provide youth and young adults personalized therapeutic guidance to combat their drug and alcohol addiction within the Georgian Triangle Area. Clients will have an opportunity to learn positive coping strategies for the stressors in their lives while obtaining a positive supportive relationship with their loved ones and trained Addiction Specialists. Brad's Place will offer family members and loved ones an opportunity to be involved in every aspect of the clients care as well as gain the knowledge and skills to become a positive support.
Brad's Place will be a home for the youth and young adults, situated in a tranquil country setting. We are requesting assistance to raise enough funds to purchase the perfect home to be named Brad's Place.
Please donate and share this campaign to help the youth and young adults of the Georgian Triangle Area.
