SINGLE-ACCESS MODEL “Addicts sometimes have a hard time getting their act together and controlling their lives. A lot of places will help you with one thing, but you have to go across town to get something else you need. 14 BTC is a one-stop shop. Here, they deal with you, your children, parenting, and emotions all under one roof. ” A BTC Client Mothercraft. Jean. Tweed. Centre. Motherisk. Toronto. Public. Health. Children’s. Aid&Catholic. Children’s. Aid. Societiesof. Toronto
INTEGRATED, CROSSSECTORAL MODEL “It’s not just about quitting drugs, but about changing your whole lifestyle …The children are the main focus here … that’s how they help us break the cycle. ” 15 A BTC Client Mothercraft. Jean. Tweed. Centre. Motherisk. Toronto. Public. Health. Children’s. Aid&Catholic. Children’s. Aid. Societiesof. Toronto
BREAKING CYCLES “At first I only came here because CAS told me to. But I’ve learned so much about being a mother and now I’m coming by choice. I wasn’t ready to change until after my daughter was born … At first I didn’t care about my daughter — I didn’t care if they took her away from me. Now, I wouldn’t lose her for anything in the 16 world. Everyone in my family — my mom, my dad, my brothers — has a drug problem. I want to stop the cycle before my daughter has a problem too. ” - A BTC Client Mothercraft. Jean. Tweed. Centre. Motherisk. Toronto. Public. Health. Children’s. Aid&Catholic. Children’s. Aid.
