“Before coming to Adult & Teen Challenge, I was at my lowest point in life, addicted, lost. My mental health had deteriorated because of my substance abuse, I was struggling with psychosis, and I wasn't the person I used to be. I knew that I wanted to get out, get help and get away from that life that I was living,” she says. “Don't give up on your dreams of having freedom. It's possible to overcome the hard things that happen to us in life, and there's always a way out. There's always a place for somebody to get help, and it’s never too late to change and to create a new life for yourself.” The Adult & Teen Challenge Life Transformation Centre is a project currently underway, designed to improve access to addictions services by addressing every stage of recovery. The Centre will provide a full continuum of care from in one organization, including first point of contact services, in-residence programs, step-down programs, family
Living in community, surrounded by like-minded people, helped her feel like she was part of a healthy, loving family and part of something bigger than herself. She says it gave her a sense of belonging that she didn’t have growing up. “Group therapy helped me come out of my shell. It gave me a safe space to share and be heard and have real healing through connecting with other people who understood what I was going through. Adult & Teen Challenge motivated me; it taught me life skills. I learned a lot about God and myself, how to take better care of myself, set boundaries and have integrity. I was also so blessed to restore my family relationships and be a consistent part of their life.” In 2022, Natalia graduated from the SURGE Emerging Leaders program and gained full-time employment with Adult & Teen Challenge. She has a place of her own, got her driver’s licence and is working towards completing Grade 12.
