Karis Support Society - Kelowna, British Columbia

Sandy Stoutenburg

I volunteer to teach Yoga to the women who reside there. I support the work they do there and respect the quality of services they provide. They need to be recognized in Kelowna for the caring, respectful and supportive work they provide. That's why I volunteer there. Learn more....

February 4 2024, the RCMP break down my front door (swat team style)...& then; Feb 6th 2024, Geri Pauls, Deborah Klassen & Diane Beamish~(psychologist) took 3 designer purses from me. 2 Louis Vuitton purses and 1 Burberry purse...
they also had my *vehicle towed $800.*
Thanks!

I do have a suggestion...Stop putting your clients in a bedroom suite with unsupervised men to do your business.

**6 months later.
Still no resolution to the things taken from me.

Geri Pauls, Deborah Klassen & Diane Beamish..?

It would be simple to say, that Karis saved our daughter's life but as with most families who have a child or loved one struggling through addiction it is never that simple. It is often said, "You don't know what you don't know" and in recovery what most of us don't know is it takes a sustainable long-term recovery program to help create lasting results. Well, Karis offers exactly that, time, treatment, accountability, and guidance intending to create meaningful and sustainable change. Our daughter after trying some short-term treatment facilities and struggling to "get clean" on her own was fortunate to find Karis and has never looked back. The change was gradual at first, but then one day you could see it in her eyes, it was unexpected and made me cry (as it does now). She was not only alive and safe but through her eyes, I could see the person we fought so hard to save had finally found her way back. We don't know where our family would be without Karis but we do know we would not be here so thank you.

Lovely atmosphere and even better friends. Some of the rules are fair for the most part and the structure and accountability are perfect. Many, many chances are given for clients to continue their recovery when they have hard times so everyone feels safe and comfortable to work with staff and counselors for help.

Most horrible place I've ever lived . I was threatened to be kicked out because APPERENTLY I was swearing in my room which is a private room . Felt like I was walking on egg shells there ALL THE TIME . I wouldn't suggest to anyone to go there I also NEVER received my damage deposit back. Some staff was nice and some were very rude . They say they are a support society pfftt well let me tell you first hand I felt NO support and I know lots of other girls who didn't either . I also don't suggest going there with your babies the parenting side is AWFUL . They tell you LIES and make you feel very unsafe especially with ministry and children of families. I felt very uncomfortable the whole time I was there. Glad when i got to leave

I am in the waiting list to go here to help with my mental health issues and to learn more knowledge about substance abuse. I’m excited and eager to get in there and hope I am by the end of the month!
