Iris Place Reopens

Wawa's Iris Place has reopened.

While the drop-in centre for individuals living with mental health and/or addiction issues had temporarily closed, it reopened this week and new Clubhouse/Peer Support Worker Michelle Richardson notes programming is increasing at Iris Place.

Richardson - a nurse at the Lady Dunn Health Centre for nearly 25 years - emphasizes "any support is needed", Iris Place is there - including if you just need someone to talk with - there's no need for a referral and there's no stigma - drop in the 22 Broadway Avenue location between 9 am and 3:30 pm Monday to Friday or call 705-856-1894.

Richardson also reminds Iris Place is a non-profit reliant on local support, encouraging donations including cash, food items, laundry detergent, craft supplies, and gift cards.
