Our Residents do not live in Our Workspace, we work in their Home
Lennon House officially opened in April of 2020 and now houses 22 residents, both male and female, who have begun their journey to successful recovery from addiction.
Dianne has questioned the lack of available resources for those in crisis on the island and strives to bring better services to those without access to the care those on PEI so desperately need.
Soon after the loss of her son, Dianne set out to be part of the solution, by opening a recovery home on Prince Edward Island for those battling with addictions and their mental health.
Dianne Young's son, Lennon, ended his life by suicide after struggling with addiction and mental health issues, at just 29 years old.
Dianne turned her painful loss into a passion to make care and recovery available to islanders and provide a safe, reliable home for those ready to get their life back.
