Our History
THRIVE has being doing amazing work in the greater Victoria area since its inception as Nisika in the mid-80’s then evolving to a registered non-profit in 2006 as Phoenix Human Services. In April 2022, the agency changed its name to THRIVE Social Services - a name which reflects our ongoing mission of helping those we serve find and reach their full potential.
The agency continues to maintain its high standards, consistently receiving program accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) since 2004. The vibrant atmosphere and commitment to service quality inspires a sense of belonging for employees and clients alike.
