CARE
Mental Health Services
Lived CARE offers mental health services in the areas of Counselling, Advocacy, Research, and Education. Lived CARE providers and collaborators have their own lived experiences with the mental health system, whether that be personally or through supporting a loved one. This unique insight into recovery and navigation of mental health challenges allows our practitioners to provide a therapeutic space that prioritizes trauma-informed care, human connection, and authenticity.
