Sunshine Coast Health Centre, considered one of the best drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs in British Columbia, is pleased to announce the recipient of its first scholarship opportunity for the 2016-2017 school year to Ms. Jennifer Hoffmeister of Simon Fraser University. The available award is denominated at $1000 payable towards tuition payment for 2016/2017 semester.

Excerpt from Ms. Hoffmeister's Essay

Applicants for the scholarship were required to submit a short essay on the subject of drug addiction and/or alcoholism with a focus on how Canadian society is evolving in its perception of addiction. The topic is timely, of course, due to a strong increase in heroin addiction (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/heroin/) as well as other types of opioid addictions.

Here is an excerpt from Ms. Hoffmeister's Essay:

"I became interested in addictions and substance abuse around the time when I discovered my passion for mental health and helping those who feel as though the world has nothing left to offer them. My heart aches for people who are struggling with the thought that the world would be better off if they didn't exist. This has led me to pursue a career in clinical psychology with the aim of working with youth and young adults dealing with suicidal thoughts, self-injury, depression and addictions."

The purpose of the scholarship, accordingly, is to encourage young persons to pursue careers in the area of health care and of course, addiction treatment.
