COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Amethyst Women's Addiction Centre
Description:
Amethyst Women's Addiction Centre was the first addiction treatment centre of its kind in Canada when it opened its doors in 1979 in Ottawa. A non-profit charitable organization, the centre was founded in order to provide community-based treatment services to address the unique issues affecting women coping with substance abuse. Amethyst is grounded in the feminist belief that women's experience with alcohol and drugs cannot be separated from their experiences and status as women. Amethyst makes direct links between the unequal position of women in society, the various forms of violence against women and substance use.
