Who we support

This service is for adults with developmental disabilities, such as autism, FASD, cerebral palsy, mental health disorders, complex physical or mental health issues, and undiagnosed developmental disorders. With client consent, we can include caregivers and family members in this process.

What to expect

Inquire

Once you inquire, we’ll confirm your referral and eligibility. We’ll then be in touch to start the registration process and connect you with a Social Worker.

Scheduled Appointments

You’ll book scheduled appointments with your Social Worker. They’ll provide individual counselling based on the client’s needs. They may also offer family and caregiver counselling focused on issues such as anxiety, grief, stress and relationships.
