The Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM) is a Crown agency that is committed to being a foundation of excellence in providing addictions services and supporting healthy behaviours. AFM employs over 400 staff and provides a wide range of addictions services to Manitobans through 28 locations across the province. At least 1 in 5 Canadians experience problems with alcohol, drugs or gambling during their lifetime. Many more are affected by someone they care about experiencing these struggles. People of all ages and backgrounds experience these issues – and make positive changes.
We are a client-centered organization that welcomes and respects diversity; we support our clients in their capacity for change; we collaborate with many partners and welcome new relationships; and, we use evidence-based practices to ensure the continuous improvement of our organization. Difficulties in finding secure, adequate and affordable housing are challenges affecting many of our clients.
