Testimonials

"‘I have been a member of AWISH for about 10 years. I attend two exercise classes a week which have helped me keep mobile. I also go to Caring and Sharing support group for my mental health, companionship etc. AWISH has wonderful programs for everyone and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you."
Impact
"As with many diseases there is always new information, medication and opinions to evaluate. The AWISH newsletter, Joint Effort, is so well presented. With news of …programs and speakers, it includes feature articles on subjects of interest to us all. And now in these Covid-19 days, Ginette, our office manager, is able to often email snippets of interest and importance to us"
Impact
"The newly diagnosed have many more resources open to them today. But I am so grateful [to AWISH when] I recall my days of fear and pain. AWISH … offers quality education, information, support and friendship to French and English members on the West Island of Montreal."

As an organization with Montreal reach, we recognize our work occurs on traditional Indigenous territories. We live, work, and play on the traditional land and unceded territory of the Kanienʼkehá:ka (Mohawk) people, custodians of the land and waters. This is meant to express deep respect for Indigenous peoples and to advocate for changes to systemic racism. There is more work to do.  We encourage you to learn more about the nations, land, and communities in the areas where you live. Read full statement.
