Who We Are

Club Wellness Niagara provides recreation and wellness programming in under-resourced communities in the Niagara Region. We are a place for community members to improve their mental, physical, social and emotional health. 

​

We imagine a community where people experiencing poverty, living with mental illness and/or substance use, physical and/or developmental exceptionalities, surviving trauma and on a recovery journey are provided barrier-free access to supports to improve their mental, emotional, social and physical wellness.

​

We work in communities where wellness programming is needed and not currently existing, or communities that need support with current programming. We work in multiple settings, including: 

• public, transitional and supportive housing programs 

• day programs and centres  

• shelters 

• education

• treatment programs

​

Our current Club Members are individuals experiencing poverty, living with mental illness and/or substance use, developmental and physical exceptionalities, surviving trauma, at risk of experiencing homelessness and on a recovery journey.
