Programs

If you’re from a racialized (including Black/African, South Asian, West Asian, Arab, Southeast Asian, Latin American), 2SLGBTQIA++ or an Indigenous community in the GTA and experiencing mental health or addiction challenges, we’re here to support you. Our free programs are designed to meet your unique needs.

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (Day) Program

This community-based program helps racialized individuals with mental health and addiction challenges become independent and improve their quality of life. 

We offer workshops and activities to help you learn coping skills, make social connections, and improve your quality of life. Participants can also join yoga, art, and music therapy, and access hot meals, weekly groceries, and nutritional support—because we believe mental and physical health are deeply connected.
