Incorporated in 1983 and governed by an elected board, the Society has deep local ties and works with a broad cross-section of the community — including Métis, Status, and non-Aboriginal residents from Wabasca, Calling Lake, Chipewyan Lake, and Red Earth Creek, to provide counselling and support without isolating people from the lives they are still living. Its mission centres on helping everyone it serves build skills, insight, and connection while they continue to manage their work, family, schooling, and community roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
The adolescent brain is still developing. The prefrontal cortex, which governs impulse control and risk assessment, isn't fully formed until the mid-twenties. Meanwhile, the reward-seeking part of the brain matures earlier, creating a window where teenagers are neurologically primed for risk-taking and especially sensitive to the effects of substances. Add in peer pressure, stress, family environment, and easy access, and the conditions for problematic use can come together quickly.
The key distinction is whether substance use is starting to cause measurable harm (to school performance, relationships, mood, or health) and whether your teenager is continuing despite those consequences. Warning signs worth taking seriously include increased secrecy, a sudden change in friend group, declining grades, withdrawal from activities they used to care about, and physical changes like bloodshot eyes or disrupted sleep. If you're seeing several of these together, that's a signal for a professional assessment, not a wait-and-see approach.
In most cases, no. The majority of adolescents in treatment are treated at outpatient or intensive outpatient levels of care, which are specifically designed to fit around a school schedule, with sessions held in the afternoons or evenings. Even in cases where more intensive treatment is needed, most programmes include academic support so students can continue earning credits. Research also shows that staying connected to school actively supports recovery, making educational continuity a clinical priority as well as a logistical one.
