Our Programs Are Funded By

Our settlement counsellors had the opportunity to attend Navigating Realities, hosted by the Windsor Essex Child/Youth Advocacy Centre as part of their 4th Annual Victims Week event. Through powerful personal and professional insights, speakers shed light on the landscape of harm experienced by children and youth in Windsor-Essex. These conversations remind us that as a community, we can and must do better to protect our young people from abuse and harm. Thank you, Windsor Essex CYAC , for your continued commitment to advocacy and healing.
