Home – New Directions

New Directions will be getting a brand new website look! Check back Monday, February 1, 2021 to see the new and improved New Directions website.

New Directions Office Building: Update

New Directions’ office locations at 717 Portage Avenue, 514 St. Mary Avenue, and 10 & 11 – 254 Stella Walk remain closed for regular business. Our six Adult Day Services sites are open with reduced capacity to follow Public Health recommended COVID precautions. A small staff complement remains at the main office at 717 to ensure core business functions are managed. Many of our office staff continue to work virtually (counselling sessions, clinical consultations, classes, carrying on our accounting, payroll and finance responsibilities, etc.) and plan for in-person case specific essential services.

Thank you for your support of New Directions and I wish you and your families the best as we all manage this pandemic and its effects on our lives.

Below you will find links to some resources you may find helpful at this time.

Chief Executive Officer
