A book of Activities forLife Planning Continuity Care was established by a group of dedicated parents, siblings and citizens who want to help families in Manitoba plan a safer and more secure future for their family member with an intellectual disability.''Planning is a must. Start planning now!''Planning gives us a chance to live our own lives while at the same time knowing that our relative has a life of their own. Start now and review regularly. Good intentions based on wrong information can put people at risk. Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake. Other families learn that the wills and estate planning they have done in good faith may result in loss of government income supports, medical / dental benefits and access to the many government programs their family member may require.

We are St Raphael Wellness Centre (SRWC) a non-profit, charitable organisation based in Winnipeg serving the needs of individuals and families affected by addiction.
From our beginnings in the early 1970s as a small church-based addictions support service, we grew into a helping agency that, in the early 1990s sought to introduce European-influenced housing and addiction treatment to Winnipeg. Since then we have re-focused on meeting the needs of those in pre- and post-treatment.
While our history has informed our holistic approach to addictions recovery—we believe that personal spirituality is one of many areas that are included in well-balanced living—our programs are not faith-based and we welcome Participants from all cultural and religious backgrounds.
