Rooted in Belonging
Bridging lived expertise, community leadership, and collaborative action to transform substance use, mental health, and social inclusion across Atlantic Canada.
Who We Are
SUN ARC Community Hub Inc. (Shared Understanding Network, an Atlantic Resource Collaborative) is a newly established non-profit dedicated to community-driven systems change across Atlantic Canada.
At our core, we are Rooted in Belonging. We believe that genuine transformation happens when individuals and communities are not merely invited to the table to share stories, but are grounded as true leaders, experts, and co-creators of the systems that serve them.
By convening peer leaders, frontline workers, researchers, elected officials, and community leaders, SUN ARC aims to break down institutional and social barriers and replace them with shared power, true belonging and transformative, community-led action for change.
