About Harvest House Ministries of Ottawa:
Founded in 1979, Harvest House Ministries of Ottawa-Carleton (Harvest House) operates a recovery program for young men suffering from drug and alcohol abuse. Harvest House aims to rehabilitate young men who are chemically dependent, to instill in them self-discipline, and to reintegrate them into society by an inner change brought about by faith in Jesus Christ. The charity operates a 24-bed facility in southern Ottawa.
Harvest House offers a wide variety of programs to its residents, including anger management, bible study, running, and a skills development program. In 2017, 97 men were welcomed into treatment. Harvest House offers a continuing education program that helps residents without a high school diploma prepare to write the General Equivalency Diploma (GED) test. The charity noted that 21 residents studied in the GED education program in 2017.
Harvest House has four additional “re-entry” houses to assist graduates as they face the difficult challenge of re-entering society after completing a year at the main facility. In 2017, the charity taught 156 classes on recovery education & relapse prevention. Harvest House’s primary outreach program, Values, Influences and Peers (VIP), aims to educate students ages 13 to 19 about the dangers of substance abuse. In 2017, the charity had 30 residents share their stories at 56 schools in the Ottawa area, reaching 1,561 students.
