This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week

Mental health touches every stage of life. At WoodGreen, we support youth, adults and seniors through programs that create space to be heard, feel connected and get the support they need.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing stories and highlighting programs that support mental health and wellbeing across our communities.

If you need immediate crisis support, call or text 9-8-8. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.

Walk-in Counselling will be closed today, September 30, in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

09/30/2026

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize the ongoing harms experienced by Indigenous communities across Turtle Island and honour the importance of continued learning, reflection, and action.

This day invites us to deepen our understanding of Indigenous histories, experiences, and perspectives, including those of gender-diverse Indigenous communities. It is an opportunity to reflect on how we can strengthen our services, challenge barriers, and create safer, more inclusive environments for all.

WoodGreen remains committed to walking the path of truth and reconciliation alongside Indigenous communities. We recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey that calls for continued learning, accountability, and meaningful action as we work toward a more just and inclusive city for all.

Five years ago, Nayab stood on a Toronto street in the middle of the night holding her 15-month-old son, with nowhere to turn.

“That dream became my worst nightmare,” she recalls.

Arriving in a new country, isolated and escaping abuse, getting ahead meant getting an education. But going to school was impossible without safe housing or child care.

Then she found WoodGreen’s Homeward Bound program. With housing, free on-site child care and college tuition covered under one roof, Nayab rebuilt her life from the ground up.

Today, she is a college graduate, a Canadian citizen and working full-time.

“Homeward Bound gave me the strength to recognize myself,” Nayab says.
