Mission, Vision & Values

Who Are We?

We are THE place for young adults in Toronto, aged 16 to 29, who are experiencing mental health challenges to get the support they need.

We work to help young adults learn skills, build community and be empowered to manage their own mental health.

The Stella’s Place ‘menu’ includes peer support, clinical services, employment support, wellness, art, and recovery programs.

“I really don’t think there is anywhere else like this. I can only imagine how many other young people are stuck in the darkness, trying to find help. I don’t know what I would have done without Stella’s Place, without the DBT program here, it changed my life!”
