Read MoreHealth Upwardly Mobile Inc., (HUM) is an Integrated Health and Wellness company based in Calgary, Alberta. Our team includes a variety of healthcare providers including nurses, physicians, psychologists and social workers. HUM offers personal and corporate services, as well as training and workshops on topics related to Addiction, Mental Health, and Chronic Pain.
HUM’s unique strength is our ability to draw on individual and collaborative expertise to provide tailored individual care within an Integrated Continuing Care Framework. For all new referrals, this involves a comprehensive assessment to identify the individual’s physical and/or mental health issues. We also recognize the importance of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions for individuals and their families. Our work reflects collaborative strategies, preventive resources and leading edge research in the areas of Addiction, Mental Health and Chronic Pain.
Treatment, recovery and rehabilitation recommendations will focus on returning the individual to a state of “wellness” as soon as possible. Recommendations will be designed to ensure the earliest return to work and/or healthy living within the capabilities of each individual.
HUM means ‘we’ or ‘us’ in Hindi. We have chosen this acronym to also convey the meaning that we are stronger and more effective together… “Together we can”!
HUM provides holistic assessment and treatment that encompasses biological, psychological, social and spiritual health.
The assessment and treatment recommendations are based on individual needs and meet people where they are at, rather than fitting people into programs.
HUM has an integrated interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals including medical doctors, registered psychologists, social workers and nurses.
When you are in trouble, you seem to do what ever you have been told to do, in order to please the people that punished you for breaking the law. At HUM, I woke up and realized, that there is way more behind all this, I learned to see where it all came from, and how to avoid many occasions that would trigger the situation. HUM is way more professional then any Rehab Centers I know off, they are straight with you, very knowledgeable in any aspect, and focus on YOU only, and no one else, they really woke me up and made my life better than ever. I focus on myself and my family only, everything else is relevant. It is worth it to communicate with HUM, they really know how to help !!!!!
The Team at HUM is fantastic and they have an awesome suite of service offerings that align with a Biological, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual model of health; I trust them with contributing in an amazing way to the ongoing health of my Family.
As a healthcare professional with addiction it was very important to be able to access timely, accessible comprehensive care. Not only have I found that HUM met the mark on those fronts they were also incredibly compassionate, and skilled at addressing addiction. Although I have been in recovery since May 2007, it wasn’t until I accessed HUM in Jan 2015, that I was really able to understand my disease and the impact that it has in all areas of my life. Most importantly I was able to do this in a way (with their help) that put my shame aside and see the disease for what it is. The gifts are too numerous to count. I feel extremely fortunate to have found this place; and continue to refer people there, both in my personal and professional life. They are truly addiction whisperers ????
HUM is an excellent organization. Their staff are thoughtful, well informed and welcoming. My team provides Art Therapy sessions as part of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Art provides participants a method of expression that goes beyond the limits of words. It allows participants to tap into their creativity and connect with each other in a different way. It is a pleasure working with HUM and being part of their community.
I first reached out to HUM in a desperate attempt to get help for my adult daughter who suffers from addiction. Little did I know that I would be the one to discover my own addictive problems and finally get much needed support and understanding from the HUM team. There are very few professionals in Calgary that can deal with addiction like Doctor Hajela and Paige Abbott as they are experts in the complicated world of addiction.I owe them my gratitude and highly recommend anyone suffering with family addiction to reach out for their knowledge and professional expertise. It has been a saving grace for me!
I was a patient of Dr. Hajela’s 2 years before HUM was created. I was under his, and his teams care from HUM’s inception in 2009 until 2014 (7 years). I attended 2 other treatment programs in BC and Calgary, as well as regular 12 step meetings. The quality of the group and individual therapy I received at HUM was by far the most professional I’ve experienced in my journey. My time at HUM had the most profound impact on my recovery and still does to this day. I’m beyond grateful to be part of this amazing team as a counsellor now, and to be able to have an impact on and witness the journeys of my fellow addicts.
