**About Porchlight Counselling and Addictions Services**

For 83 years, Porchlight Counselling and Addictions Services (Formally: Family Counselling Centre of Cambridge and North Dumfries) has been supporting our community with counselling, building healthy relationships, community engagement, and most recently, with addiction services. We want everyone to have access to affordable, caring, person-centred, trauma-informed, culturally appropriate mental health and addiction supports that meet their unique needs. Our vision is for a community where there is equality, respect, empathy, and inclusion, and this is why we get up in the morning and do the work that we do.

Our team enjoys working collaboratively and we strive to value each other, because we know people are our most important resource. Our staff and volunteers work to support each other and value a healthy work-life balance. We see our clients as people first and aspire to walk alongside them towards growth and healing. We invest in our staff and work to support their growth as both individuals and team members.

Unfortunately, the need for mental health and addiction supports is greater than ever, and our agency has been transforming itself to grow to meet this unprecedented need. To do this, we need robust and sustainable funding to ensure our community can access the supports they need and deserve.

That’s where you come in.

Passion and a commitment to serving your community is where your motivation starts. You are a life-long learner excited to be innovative, creative, and collaborative in your work. You know that Porchlight can’t serve this community alone, so you build and support partnerships with other agencies and groups.
