"The most significant impact of the CAI Community Counselling funding is the ability to provide additional no cost/low cost and barrier free counselling to the North Shore community. Single mothers who have left abusive situations and have no access to resources are able to access mental health supports because of this funding. Men who have survived childhood trauma and who are addressing their mental health as an adult are able to access mental health services because of this funding. This funding is critical to our ability to provide equitable access to mental health resources to the community."
