From the Executive Director, Nancy Bradley
    



At the Jean Tweed Centre (JTC), we are committed to assisting women who face issues related to substance use and/or problem gambling. We provide a range of programs and services to help women as they begin to make positive lifestyle changes, and offer support to their families with a focus on their young children.  We offer an on-site licensed child development centre as well as specialized children's and parenting programs.

If you are seeking help for your substance use and/or gambling, I invite you to explore this website to find out how we can be of assistance.

If you wish to help JTC by financially contributing to our work, we have many opportunities for both organizations and individuals.

Thank you for your interest in the Jean Tweed Centre.

Nancy Bradley
