The Men's Health Initiative

Connect Counselling has offered a wide range of services to our community for 33 years. Recently this has included group drop-in sessions & individual private counselling designed specifically for men. In the climate of COVID 19, these services are in demand more than ever. Connect needs to build capacity to deliver more services free of charge to those in need. The stress on men who may also have experienced trauma in the past, is increasing dramatically. Financial, work, family, & relationship pressures are heightened dramatically within the current health crisis. Mental Health & Addictions issues will rise significantly in coming months. Housing & food security will be real issues for many more community members...not just those visibly vulnerable, but for your neighbours, co-workers, friends and family too. Let's make enough services available NOW, because when we support the men of our communities, we also support the partners, children and families they love too.
