At Sherbourne Health Centre,
we serve LGBT people and members of our local community – those living in
southeast Toronto, the area bounded by Yonge Street and the Don River to the
east, and between Bloor Street and Lake Ontario to the south—with creative and
innovative mental health programs and services. To reduce barriers to health, we
provide a range of services – free of charge – to those who have trouble
accessing quality care because of poverty, racism, culture and social isolation.
Our team includes mental health counsellors who are experienced in working with
people who have lived through exceptionally difficult and traumatic
circumstances. Our counselling team works collaboratively, using creative
approaches to help clients deal with a broad range of issues such as substance
use, depression, relationship difficulties, discrimination and homophobia.
In addition, we can provide you with relevant information on workshops, support groups and other community resources.
Services are free of charge for individuals who for financial reasons cannot afford to obtain mental health counselling services elsewhere.
