Our Mission
To support and empower people affected by mental health and/or addiction challenges by providing inclusive peer-support programs.
Our Vision
People with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction challenges live full lives of their choosing within supportive, inclusive communities.
What We Do
We off a variety of hassle-free recovery-oriented* programs and services based on the philosophy of intentional peer support.
*Recovery-based services or programs means that the foundation is on mental health recovery as a paradigm, much different than the more dominant and mainstream services models based on the bio-medical (“medical model”), psychosocial or rehabilitation models of mental health services and thinking about mental health challenges. We believe that people will and do recover from mental health extremes, and can lead fully self-determining and actualized lives with or despite mental health labels. We also recognize that what is difficult to overcome is the poverty, food and housing insecurity, racism, homophobia, and myriad oppressions that many people face who also live with mental health extremes.

Application Support, Counsumer/Survivor Network, Peer Support Community of Practice, Drop In Centres (Richmond Hill, Alliston and a Collaborative partnership In Newmarket), Family support, Housing to Health (Housing First Collaborative), Peer Navigators in Emergency Departments (North York General and Southlake Regional Health Centre), Peer Support Outreach, Peer Recovery Education, Warm Line and Peer Crisis Support Services (1-888-777-0979), WRAP Hub
