Holistic Community Support Services
in Downtown Vancouver

The Couve Collective is a community who values connection, balance, and personal growth. We offer a safe, comfortable space for individuals and their children to gather, and provide various groups, activities, and resources which promote a flourishing, self-directed life. We are dedicated to bringing people together, healing families, building healthy relationships, and promoting joy and passion for life. 

On a daily basis we provide:

         Hot meals and healthy snacks to individuals facing food scarcity

         Wellness circles to offer encouragement towards a healthy and purposeful life

         Support for families to help break the cycle of addiction and homelessness 

         A safe space for individuals to meet with community partners

         Peer support to help individuals take positive steps towards self-sufficiency

We are situated in a neighborhood which maintains a large unhoused population.  Our services are member-based and we strive to motivate people to engage in lasting change.  Our program offerings include support to people who are serious about ending substance use.  We also provide individualized support as people transition to stable housing and jobs.  We believe in loving accountability and hold people responsible to basic membership requirements.  Our members experience life-changing decisions each and every day - and we are grateful to be part of their recovery story.

  • Promoting a Safe Space

    We strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. It helps people to get substance use recovery, homelessness, and uplift from traumatic pasts.
