Amethyst offers free alternative addiction services to women-identified and gender-diverse individuals in the Ottawa region and is committed to working with diverse and marginalized folks. Our philosophy is grounded in the feminist belief that experiences with alcohol, drugs, and gambling cannot be separated from our experiences and status as women-identified and gender-diverse individuals. We make direct links between inequality and the various forms of violence, and substance use and/or problem gambling. Amethyst provides group and individual day counselling services and is an officially bilingual organization.
