challenges and are living primarily in East Toronto. Self-referrals
are strongly recommended. However, we also accept referrals from families
or other services providers. Where appropriate, we will set up an
interview to determine the services you are most interested in. We will
also fill you in on the monthly schedule of group activities available to
you. The majority of our services are FREE, although there is a small fee
for some of the recreational activities.
