Canadian Addiction Recovery Association (CARA)

Mission 

The Canadian Addiction Recovery Association’s (CARA) Mission is to expand its work in addiction-specific Employee Assistance by using the latest in technology to equip care providers and those seeking help with measurable outcomes toward recovery.

CARA operates to:

    1. Train skilled addiction and mental health counsellors, with a specific focus on the harm created by gambling addiction; 
    2. Work with companies to offer exceptional Employee Assistance Services that result in measurable outcomes. Should we not include this line in the CARA mission?

CARA envisions a future where innovative technology, compassionate care, and measurable outcomes empower every individual affected by addiction and mental health challenges to achieve lasting recovery and well-being. Through leadership in education, counselling excellence, and workplace support services, CARA strives to transform recovery care across Canada.
