Frequently Asked Questions

With the number of locations and mental health and wellbeing services offered by CFS, we know the details can become confusing.

While you can contact us at 1-888-726-2503 or info@cfssc.ca, we’ve also compiled this list of FAQs for you to browse in the meantime. Maybe your question will be on the list!

CLOSED

Is there a cost for CFS's groups & workshops?

Yes, although CFS is committed to delivering the same high-quality, professional services to all residents and employees regardless of their ability to pay. Our groups and workshops are valued at $25/hour. If this amount is a barrier to service, CFS does offer a sliding scale option at the time of booking.

Are CFS groups and workshops covered by OHIP, employment benefits or eligible for tax deductions.

Currently, CFS groups and workshops are not covered by OHIP, or most benefits plans. Nor are they eligible for tax deductions. However, you are encouraged to consult your benefit plan and tax preparer to better understand your individual eligibility.

Is pre-registration required?

Yes. Space for CFS groups and workshops is limited, so pre-registration is required. Please follow the prompts associated with the listing for your preferred group or workshop.

Do you offer any grief support groups?

Currently, we do not have any grief-specific groups. You may book an appointment with one of our therapists to assist you during this difficult time.

Are CFS groups & workshops available in-person or virtually?

Currently, all CFS groups and workshops are delivered virtually. As this may change at any time, please check individual listings for details.

Do I need to keep my camera on for virtual programming?

Cameras may be left on or turned off for single-session workshops and workshop seriesm as you wish. Cameras must remain on during group sessions.

What is the difference between a single workshop, workshop series, and a group?

A single workshop is a stand-alone event providing an overview of a single topic. A workshop series comprises multiple sessions that focuses on different aspects of a topic. Questions and discussion are encouraged, but not required. Participants may join one or more session in a series, without an attendance requirement. Participants in a group work together over multiple session with an expectation of full participation and attendance.

Are CFS groups and workshops inclusive?

Yes, with an age and location restriction. Unless otherwise noted, CFS offers professional groups and workshops to residents and employes over the age of 18 within Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka. CFS is proud to provide low-barrier, inclusive programming, and strives to create a safe space for all members of our community. All CFS staff members have completed the Safer Spaces training program offered by the Gilbert Centre.
