What is ROAR?

Rainbow Outpatient Addictions Recovery

  • ROAR (Rainbow Outpatient Addictions Recovery), by JP Grimard (BA, M.Ed, RCC) is a free 16 week outpatient treatment program designed specifically for 2SLGBTQQIA+ people who are struggling with substance misuse.

  • This is a first-of-its-kind program in Manitoba, offering culturally relevant treatment for the community.

  • Group sessions are held twice a week in the evenings so that people who are working and/or going to school can attend without schedule conflict.

Using evidence-based models that have proven successful in harm reduction, ROAR provides a combination of practical skills and strategies for people to use in their recovery. ROAR also explores culturally relevant topics for members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community.

Overall, ROAR will offer a unique safe space for 2SLGBTQQIA+ people that is otherwise unavailable in Manitoba.

Funding

With continued funding, we will be able to offer this program on an ongoing basis for the treatment of all substance misuse.

Each 16 week course of the ROAR program costs approximately $50,000. Thanks to the generous support of our current sponsors we are able to deliver this valuable program.
