Your donation makes it possible for us to provide professional counselling services to those in Simcoe County who cannot afford to pay. No amount is too small.
We are deeply committed to promoting the well-being of our community’s children, individuals and families regardless of religious affiliation or ability to pay. We’re an agency that’s based on love, compassion, respect, hope and a belief that regardless of the difficulties that people are facing there are solutions.
Why we are unique
No admission criteria: We are the only family service agency in the county that does not have admission criteria related to a particular diagnosis. This is particularly important for clients who suffer from multiple diagnoses.
Walk-in counselling: Crisis doesn’t wait. Clients can get help right away. Without us, 24% of our clients had no where else to turn to. 31% would wait to get an appointment with their busy family doctors.
Affordable: Our rates are based on a sliding scale because the overwhelming majority of our clients cannot afford to pay for the full cost – on average they can pay only 7% of the cost of their counselling services. We rely on the generosity of donors and sponsors to meet the growing demand in our community.
