Addictions Foundation Manitoba (AFM)
Addictions Foundation Manitoba (AFM) opened its first Youth Residential Treatment
Facility (now called the Compass Program) in Southport. This 14-bed facility
provides residential treatment for youth ages 13-17, who are referred from across
the province.
The Compass Program helps address current gaps in service for Manitoba youth and
their families. The program is designed to help teens look at their involvement with
alcohol, drugs, and gambling to see if it is affecting their life in a negative way. The
youth have the opportunity to meet and work with counsellors who understand youth issues and the potential
effects of alcohol, drugs, and gambling on young people’s lives. The program offers safety, confidentiality, respect,
and openness.
AFM occupies the northeast wing of the Southport Building. Renovations were done to create a safe and
comfortable setting for the youth. The AFM program utilizes the Central Plains RecPlex, walking paths, and
outdoor facilities, which are great for the youth to build confidence, find new hobbies, and interact with others.
