Community Programs & Support Services
Resources that clients and families may find helpful.
Bridging With Support Foundation
Bridging With Support aims to subsidize the cost of mental health service support to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Indigenous populations, and people of colour across Ontario.
Those who reach out to Bridging With Support can request financial support to access individual counselling services. In future, as our funding increases, we hope to provide access to financial support for couples and family therapy.
2SLGBTQ+ Arts, Wellness & Creative Programs (City of Toronto)
The City of Toronto is offering a series of 2SLGBTQ+-affirming arts, wellness, and creative programs designed to support connection, self-expression, and community belonging. These programs include activities like mixed media painting, sewing, dodgeball, makeup workshops, and a Drag Open Studio to create accessible spaces for people to move their bodies, explore creativity, learn new skills, and connect with others in a safe and welcoming environment.
