Real Help
Stella’s Circle offers a range of residential, community, and correctional-based counselling services to support people through life’s challenges. We believe that with the necessary supports, people can reach their fullest potential.
Our services help people to achieve higher levels of personal independence and self-reliance. We help participants recover from personal challenges and change their lives for the better.
EMMANUEL HOUSE
Emmanuel House is a residential counselling program offering a supportive environment to adults experiencing challenges with mental health, addictions, and trauma, as well as those with criminal justice histories. Participants stay for a multi-week period and take part in individual counselling, therapeutic groups, and life skills support. They work together on chores and cooking, and participate in recreational activities. We provide follow-up services to help people make the transition from Emmanuel House back into the community, including help with housing and employment for a successful recovery.
We accept self-referrals or referrals from others including health care providers, family counselling agencies, government departments, or family and friends of individuals needing support.
