About Us
Couve Collective offers people in recovery and their support system avenues to engage in activities specialized for building life skills and a solid foundation for living. Staff and wellness coaches understand the importance of long-term support, adjusting courses when needed, and practicing healthy boundaries, which is modeled and guided in all aspects of our community. We build hope; we see humans stuck in a prison of their own making with bars of shame, guilt, and helplessness. We work to inspire change while building community.
Restoring connection by
building a community of recovery in
downtown Vancouver as we challenge each
other to grow through life's hardships.
Building trust with people – especially if you live on the streets – can be so difficult. So being (someone) people can trust really makes me feel honored and grateful.Â
