The Chatham-Kent Children’s Treatment Centre is getting more than $280,000 to expand its Life Links program, courtesy of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
The initiative was set up in a pilot format and aims to help people transition from teenagers into adult hood.
Cristian Picard says the program is life changing.”How’s helped me? How hasn’t it? that’s the better question. The answer is there is no way in which it hasn’t helped me,” Picard says. “When I was a kid I had no drive, no ambition.”
No Pickard is a comedian, an advocate and a speaker on behalf of the treatment centre.
