Our Impact

Making a Difference Through Recovery 

57 Years of Leadership and Impact:

Empowering Individuals, Strengthening Communities 

Wayside House of Hamilton is deeply invested in our clients, the community and the wider mental health and addictions sector. Our commitment to creating lasting change is evident in every aspect of our work and the positive impact we have on every service recipient.  

Investing in Individuals

We believe in the inherent value of every individual. Our programs are designed to empower and uplift every participant by providing them with the support, motivation and resources they need to realize their full potential in sobriety.  

Investing in Community

Our impact extends beyond our program and into the wider Hamilton community. Wayside House is a charter member of the Greater Hamilton Health Network. We actively promote recovery through outreach initiatives, engagement events and partnerships with local healthcare and social service agencies.  

Investing in the Sector

As a proud member of Addictions and Mental Health Ontario, we participate in our provincial community of practice at every opportunity. We participate in provincial policy development, data-sharing and research initiatives, all with the goal of better serving our clients.
