Serving the communities of Abbotsford and Mission for over 20 years, IMPACT is a program that provides services to youth (age 12 to 24) and their families who have been directly or indirectly affected by alcohol and drug use, abuse and addiction. We work within the schools, in the community and at our facility in Abbotsford. We offer drop-in programs for youth,individual counselling, family counselling, workshops, groups and special programs for parents, community members, and educators.

New Mission & Vision for 2017!

With the world constantly changing, we at Impact have decided to change too. Our mission and vision has been updated to adapt and enhance our ability to better relate to our youth and families in the ever-changing world.
