I am so grateful to you, no words to describe how much all of you mean to me and my parents Now I can go home and take care of my family which I am not able to do before for almost seven to eight years.

"I would like to share my experience with PCHS and the wonderful support they provided for my mother-in-law. The services made a big difference for our family. PCHS helped us with several important services, including laundry and PSW support. There were also a couple of nights when a PSW stayed with my mother-in-law, which gave us great peace of mind knowing she was safe and cared for. I would especially like to thank the PSW Coordinator, Asha. She was a big help throughout the process. She always made sure to call and check if everything was going well and if we needed any additional support. Her kindness and dedication meant a lot to us. We were also provided with a learning tablet for seniors, which my mother-in-law really enjoyed using. She used it to do math sums, listen to music, and play prayers. It kept her engaged and happy, and it was wonderful to see her enjoying those activities. Overall, our experience with PCHS was very positive. The team was caring, supportive, and always ready to help. We are truly grateful for the services and support they provided to our family."

Addictions Program

“My life had completely changed because of heroin use. I was working as a commercial truck driver when I started using heroin after being influenced by other drivers. I continued using it for almost five years, and during that time I lost my driving license and faced many problems with my family, finances, work, and health. When I approached PCHS for help, the Case Manager supported me throughout my recovery journey. They connected me to a clinic to begin withdrawal management medication and provided regular supportive counselling sessions. Whenever I felt low or discouraged, the Case Manager motivated me to continue treatment and educated me about withdrawal symptoms and healthy ways to cope during recovery. Today, I have been free from substance use for one year. I no longer associate with negative influences, and my family is happy to see the positive changes in my life. I am now involved in farming and poultry business, and both my physical and mental health have improved significantly. I feel happier, more confident, and hopeful about my future. I am grateful for the support and guidance I received during my recovery journey.”

"[On behalf of] Friday Seniors Group of the Punjabi Community Health Services, (PCHS), I would like to say that it is running very smoothly, sincerely and effectively under the leadership of Mrs. Asha Aswal. The programme begins with physical exercises for 25-30 minutes followed by mental exercise in the form of Quiz, jumbled words or any such creative format which is quite interesting for all members. Along with this, entertainment also goes on side by side with recitation of poems, songs, and sometimes playing Tombola Game or Antakashari, etc. The Group celebrates all historic and cultural events together with great enthusiasm. I think, this programme is very beneficial to the seniors for their physical as well as mental health. Mrs. Asha Ashwal is conducting this programme for the Friday Group of the seniors with great interest and sincerity. I personally feel that all the group members like her way and style of conducting this programme and I wish that she should continue leading this programme in future also."
