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.
