John Howard Society Of Ottawa

Thanks for everything folks. Kudos to Angela for her patience and compassion

Never stayed here, but most of the people who are cause fights in the area. They also attract drug dealers to the area. The place isn't trashed around and looks appealing. A family member was jumped outside of this location from a resident a few years ago, they where kicked out witch I'm glad, but the other residents that planned it out are still there.

The staff are very helpful and welcoming..

Love you guys keep it up!!

Such amazing staff. They really go above and beyond. Couldn’t have survived this past year without their support.

Great place to get ur resumes done. And made up in the perfect working order if u don’t know where or how to live make one they will help u do it completely. Just tell them ur experience and where u have worked and they will rewrite it all down and put everything in order the way a resume is supposed to look like. They helped me write out a resume and find a job years ago and now I’m back for more help from them

I received all the help i needed from JHS.This is a great organization with education and job skill programs.They helped me with housing,counselling, and anger management classes which were eye opening.

My experience wasn't very good I was excited to get employed there but didn't know they had no structure & staff mental health was nothing to them. The staff were great but a lot of gossips. Staff are not cared for, Jhs runs a no consequence program. Residents are given so much power to abuse staff both mentally and physically especially to people of color. The supervisor is never around but stays at home to babysit his son. High turnover rate. The program at this location was suppose to help client with the needed live skills to reintegrate them back into the society but rather they prepare this clients for failure by way of spoon feeding client like as if they are in a long term care home. Its high time government look into their success rate. Most times clients relapse back within few months after leaving the program because the needed skills was not given to them. when they get into the larger society they are confuse, not knowing what to do or cope so they end up re-offending again because they were not given the needed skills to reintegrated into the world of reality

An awesome place filled with some of the cleverest minds around, it's so exciting to know they have a new location where their services are provided. Unfortunately, there are several clients that seem to not be aware of the individual responsibility that everyone needs to take in order to succeed instead of relapsing into inappropriate behavior when committing a crime or sort of
