OTTAWA - Upstream Ottawa has won the support of the J.P. Bickell Foundation to provide transportation support to clients. The foundation, established by the late Jack Bickell, a prominent Canadian philanthropist, has awarded Upstream a $20,000 grant,which will be used to support our clients in the coming year.
Alongside our clinical mental health and substance-use health support services, Upstream offers clients a variety of wellness services. None of these services are funded by government.
Upstream Ottawa’s transportation program provides our clients with transportation to and from recovery-oriented appointments, social programs, and essential resources like the grocery store. Without this program, much of our clinical work with clients would not be possible.
We currently provide transportation services to approximately 175 clients, including youth, adults and families.
Upstream provides a range of critical community supports and affordable housing options to adults and youth living with mental health and substance use health issues. Services include: intensive mental health case management, housing, youth support services with a focus on Black youth and their families, crisis prevention, medication management and life-skills coaching.
