When women are empowered and supported, the entire community benefits & flourishes. These women go onto build healthy homes, strong communities, and inspire future generations. Our mission isn’t just to provide immediate support, shelters or counselling; it’s about building futures and fostering communities where women’s empowerment is a driving force.
People with Precarious Status
Family Service Toronto
We work with individuals, families and communities destabilized by precarious mental health and/or socioeconomic circumstances, to achieve greater resilience, stability and equity.
We achieve this through our understanding of poverty and the harmful effects of marginalization, discrimination and oppression. We direct our energies to support individuals and families in our core service areas – community counselling and mental health, gender-based violence and developmental disabilities. At the same time, we work to influence policy, build knowledge, strengthen communities and advocate for system change.
