Compass Community Services

Today, we're proudly wear red in recognition of Red Shirt Day of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion! ❤️

Today is a powerful reminder that accessibility and inclusion are not optional, they are essential.

At Compass, we are committed to breaking down barriers, challenging stigma, and building a future where everyone can fully participate and belong.

Wearing red is more than a symbol, it is a promise to keep pushing for meaningful change. But if you don't have something red? Try out our Red Shirt Day reflection resource, and let us know what today brings up for you!

We're wrapping up Mental Health Awareness Month, but the need for accessible mental health support doesn’t end on May 31.

If you are able to commit to a monthly donation today, your ongoing support will help us continue providing vital mental health services in our community all year long. 💙

Navigating life's ups and downs looks different for everyone. It's natural to struggle through challenging times, be unsure about an important decision, or feel disconnected even when surrounded by people.

It's Mental Health Week in Ontario and it is the perfect opportunity to support the goals of this week by supporting your own mental health. Our skilled and professional therapists offer a variety of different counselling sessions to address individual, couple and family issues.

Today we mark Red Dress Day; the National Day of Awareness and Remembrance for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people.

We remember those who are missing, those who were taken, and stand with the families and communities carrying that loss.

As a community mental health and disability support provider, we recognize the ongoing impact of violence and systemic inequities as well as our responsibility to act against these forces.
