Meet the people walking with us

A community-based centre bringing hope and transformation to the Ardglen and Orenda neighbourhoods. Since 2013, The Journey has walked alongside children, youth and families navigating challenges around housing, employment, food security, and mental health — building programming directly shaped by residents themselves.

A charitable arts-health organization that alleviates social isolation through the simple act of writing in community. Through deep listening, shared story, and timed writing exercises, WCC has touched thousands of writers — with a strong focus on people experiencing mental health challenges.

A 77,000 sq ft collaborative hub housing six community partner agencies under one roof in Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown. Offers integrated health, social, legal, employment, and cultural services — a true model of multi-agency collaboration that mirrors our own community-rooted approach.

An evidence-based self-management framework developed by Dr. Mary Ellen Copeland and a group of people with lived experience. WRAP supports individuals in identifying their own wellness tools, daily plans, and crisis responses — and forms the backbone of our flagship recovery planning program.

A William Osler community hospital serving Etobicoke, Brampton, Mississauga, and surrounding areas. Provides emergency/crisis services, inpatient mental health care, and intensive outpatient programs — an essential clinical partner for clients who need acute support before or alongside community-based recovery.

Home to one of the largest Mental Health and Addictions programs in the GTA. Humber River's Adult Day Treatment, Community Treatment, and outpatient services provide essential continuity of care for people living with serious and persistent mental illness — a long-standing healthcare partner in our shared catchment.

A coalition of 153 health and community partners — one of the largest Ontario Health Teams in the province — coordinating care for roughly 900,000 people across our shared catchment. Spanning primary care, hospitals, home care, long-term care, and mental health and addictions services, the CW OHT helps people navigate the system with fewer gaps and warmer handoffs.

Founded in 1983 by Latin American refugees, NEW is a charitable settlement organization promoting the social and economic inclusion of newcomer women and their families. Their settlement, employment, language, and leadership programs across multiple Ontario locations help us reach immigrants and refugees experiencing isolation and emotional distress in our service area.
