- Caritas
- Caritas’
mission is to provide drug abusing/addicted people with: the environment,
relationships, support, guidance and counseling necessary for them
to grow into independent, responsible, functional members of society.
Caritas Project is a Therapeutic Community with a multi-dimensional
approach to recovery. Its scope includes, in addition to people suffering
from addiction, people with mental health issues, behavioral problems,
and family issues. This approach encompasses the physical, mental,
spiritual, social, emotional and vocational needs in a human being
in a highly structured family-like environment. The Caritas 25 month
program is well known for its great impact in achieving a total change
in lifestyle. Caritas is a registered charity, partially funded by
the Ministry of Health and continues to sustain the majority of its
work relying on public donations and community volunteerism. The website
can be used for teachers as a resource for drug and mental health
addiction. It also has a quarterly news which offers articles that
could be of use for students doing projects regarding mental health
and drug addiction.--Elisa Aquino

Health Association of Canada
- This
site is another fantastic resource as it not only focusus on Catholic
Faith, but also the issues and concerns around faith from a CANADIAN
health perspective.Mission Statement: The Catholic Health Association
of Canada is a national Christian community committed to health care
in the tradition of the Catholic Church. Our mission is to witness
to the healing ministry and abiding presence of Jesus.
Our concern is for health in all its aspects: physical, emotional,
spiritual, and social. Because we see health as a condition for full
human development, our Association encourages all activities destined
to promote
wellness, prevent disease, and cure sickness. We commit ourselves
to work openly and earnestly, in both official languages, with all
people in our society." From a teacher's viewpoint, I think this
is a great site for "staying in tune" - informed. It provides
us with resources that if we would like, we could order items such
as: posters, books, health ethics kits etc. OR simply read and download
articles of current issues and events. --Loredana
